14-Th SUN, Fisgsttff. Arb-ons, Frfdy, Much 1, H77 Boy Scouts Haven't Changed Name Despite Stories strong, recognizable identification Is required. The BSA's new bright red and white symbol includes a contemporary version of Ibe traditional BSA fleur-de-lis, plus the new communicative name, ScoutingUSA. Together, these elements more appropriately reflect the current broadened scope of the Boy Scouts of America. Use of the ScoutingUSA symbol began last summer, but full Implementation is expected to take several years, said Dickesoo.

The traditional fleur-de-lis of scouting will continue in a modernized form, Dickesoo explained, but badges and insignia denoting advancement and office will not be changed Also not changing will be the three sym "We haven't changed our name we're itUI the Boy Scouts of America," says the Grand Canyon Council In response to numerous inquiries based on several misleading national news stories. Council President Robert C. Dicketon stated emphatically that the legal corporate name of the Boy Scouts of America had not changed and that the misunderstanding arose over the BSA's adoption of a new communicative symbol using the words SccutingBSA, which was mistakenly reported as the new name of the 67-year-old Boy Scouts of America. The official name of the local council will continue to be Grand Canyon Council, Boy Scouts of America. The council will gradually incorporate the Dew symbol on its printed material, signs, and other plsccs where a bols for the Cut) Scout, Scout, and Explorer phases of the total BSA program.

The "new look" for ScoutingUSA will help clear up confusion related to the youth and adult leaders scouting is committed to serve, according to the findings of a 5-year study, Dtekeson explained that scouting serves young men and women as weU as boys, and thai the word "boy" was dropped from the scout phase of the program several years ago. This was not because of any pressure from minorities or women's groups. Surveys showed that the boys themselves did not lute to be called boys. ScoutingUSA was selected the BSA's communicative name because women are now serving as volunteers and professionals and have full membership in the Exploring program. Alio, there has been a need to identify scouting with the United States of America because the organisation does not serve youth in South America, Mexico, Central America, and Canada.

The legal corporate name, Boy Scouts of America which was established by a Charter from Congress) In 1916, six years after scoutlng's founding In this country, will still be used along with the new ScoutingUSA symbol.
