🔥 7 FACTS About Girls in Scouting America
For parents wondering how—and why—Scouting changed.
1. Girls have been part of Scouting for over 50 years.
They’ve been in Exploring since the 1970s, Venturing since 1998, Cub Scouts since 2018, and Scouts BSA (the path to Eagle Scout) since 2019.
2. Dens and troops can still be single-gender.
Scouting didn’t eliminate boys-only programs. Cub Scout dens and Scouts BSA troops are still organized by gender. Families and local organizations choose what works best for them.
3. Over 6,000 girls have earned the Eagle Scout rank.
Same service projects. Same merit badges. Same expectations. Same honor.
4. The program hasn’t changed—just who can join it.
Scouting still teaches outdoor skills, leadership, responsibility, and service. It’s the same challenge—it’s just open to more youth.
5. Most Scouting programs around the world are co-gender.
Countries like Canada, the U.K., Australia, and others have welcomed boys and girls into the same Scouting program for decades. Scouting America is aligning with this global standard.
6. It’s still Scouting—not daycare.
The uniform, values, and standards are all the same. The only thing that changed? More doors opened.
7. Scouting prepares all youth for life.
Whether or not they become Eagle Scouts, youth leave Scouting more confident, capable, and ready to lead. Got questions?
We’re always happy to talk about how Scouting works today—and how it can support your family’s goals.
