Creating a More Inclusive Scouting

In recent years, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) welcomed girls into Cub Scouts and Scouts BSA. In line with this progress, the Greater St. Louis Area Council has launched a strategic plan that includes a focus on welcoming girls into Scouting.

Scouting has always been synonymous with adventure, leadership, and personal growth. The BSA aims to provide these valuable experiences and opportunities to all youth
members. Welcoming girls into Scouting enriches the overall Scouting community by fostering diversity of thought, talent, and perspectives. It is imperative that our families know that all youth in Scouting are welcome in a safe environment that allows for growth and leadership.

Including girls in Scouting represents a significant step toward creating a more diverse and inclusive organization. By embracing this change and updating our language, we foster an environment where all Scouts can thrive and grow. Let us continue to support and empower all Scouts as they embark on an exciting journey of self-discovery, leadership, and lifelong friendships. Together, we can build a stronger and more inclusive Scouting community.

Frequently Asked Questions:
