"Scouting America" Name Change and 115th Anniversary (T1344 20th Anniversary)

Posted on Feb 21 2025 - 4:47pm

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) officially changed its name to "Scouting America" (SA) on February 8, the organization's 115th anniversary.  The name change better reflects the current organization that consists of:

1.  Cub Scouts (K-5)   [ girls joined in 2018 with all-girl DENS under mixed-packs or all-girl PACKS ]

2.  Scouts BSA (11-17)   [ girls joined in in 2019 with all-girl TROOPS ]

___*  Troop 1344 is formally titled "Scouts BSA Troop 1344B" [B for boy troop]
___*  "Scouts BSA" was formerly known as "Boy Scouts" until 2018

3.  Venturing (14-20)   [ girls have always been welcome in mixed-gender CREWS ]

4.  Sea Scouts (14-20)   [ girls have always been welcome in mixed gender SHIPS ]

This year's 115th anniversary will lead into Troop 1344's 20th anniversary on Veterans Day, November 11, 2025.  We will announce details of our 20th commemoration efforts this summer.
