A-20 PrtTsbor8h Pre" Sua, March 20, 1977 Scoifs Drop 'Boy Girls Unhappy "new identification" goes on But spokesmen Id the ational office anticipated ditsenrion, saying that "people mitt change." So by 1982 they hope "all local councils should be following the new system." And it if It's any consolation for die-hards, the national office pointed out. "Yon can see that it would be tough to use the word "boy" when your troop is 80 per cent black. But I also thought that "boy" ignored girls' involvement in scouting. The new name takes it all in." His ally Dave Hull, scoutmaster in McMurray's Iroquois District, said "Scouts have always thought of themselves as voung men not as boys. The members of my troop like the name change." "Contrary to what a lot of people think, its not something forced on us by women's lib.

It's been known as scouting in other countries for years So why not here? he asked. By JERRY SHARPE Boys will be boys, as the old saying goes. But they'll just have to stop being IWKScouts. It's okay if they keep on scouting. But that word "boy'' has got to be dropped, the national Scout office hat decided.

The national office points out that the use of "boy" as in the time-honored name Boy Scouts of America not only insults minorities, but it isn't considerate of the women who help in scouting and the girls who are Explorers. Furthermore, said the national office, "Boy Scouts of America was it I uicinuersnip cairn, awarus ana inner legal documents will continue to say Boy Scouts of America." Z.

But even while the ScoutingUSA executives were patting themselves on the back for what they called a move away from chauvinism, Girl Scouts pointed to the change as an example of chauvinism. "We're trying to be ladies about; it.

But it was very chauvinistic changing their name without even asking what effect it will have on Girl Scouts, complained Margaret Griggs, executive director of Girl Scouts of Southwestern Pennsylvania. She added, "The effect on Girl' Scouts has been adverse. People think ScoutingUSA also includes us. It positively does not. "We are Girl Scouts and intend to stay that way.

Our national officers and members have protested the Boy Scout name change We want Boy Scouts to remain Boy Scouts," she said. Her feelings were echoed by Mrs. Patricia Bujarski, a South Sider who was a Den MOTHER until a National Scouting office memo abolished the term in these words: "Den Mother is a no-no. Cub Scouts are organized into units called dens, generally six to eight boys, led by a Den LEADER who may be male or female." ''You can call me a Den MOTHER," said Mrs. Bujarski, adding, "They should have left the name the way it was.

Explorers already included girls and there's no sexism in that name. There was no reason to change a name that's worked fine since 1910. A Butler County scoutmaster, who asked that his name be withheld, shook his head in disgust. "It's the latest in a long series of moves on the national level to set Boy Scouts of America back. Ani I want you to notice that I said Boy Scouts of America, not ScoutingUSA." On the other hand, Herman Selvag-go, former scoutmaster of a North Side troop, said he started the new move a long time ago on his own.
