Scouting America
Formerly known as the Boys Scouts of America, Scouting America rebranded to Scouting America on the organization’s 115th anniversary, Feb. 8, 2025, to reflect that it is now welcoming all youth, not just boys. It was previously known as Boy Scouts of America.
Scouting America is headquartered in Irving, Tex. It oversees several types of programs that have local chapters or troops: Cub Scouts for kindergarten through fifth grade; Scouts for ages 11 to 17; Sea Scouts, for ages 14 to 20; Venturing, for ages 14 to 20; and Exploring, for ages 10 to 20.
Use Scouting America on all references when referring to the national organization in Irving, Tex. Use the troop or chapter name and number when discussing local troops or chapters. Be sure to differentiate programs when referring to a particular program and their participants.
