成立108年的美國(guó)童子軍（Boy Scouts）決定改名了,。

美國(guó)童子軍最近修改了政策，允許女孩加入組織,，他們計(jì)劃從明年2月起把自己的旗艦項(xiàng)目美國(guó)童子軍改名為Scouts BSA,。

童子軍組織的首席執(zhí)行官邁克·蘇博爾表示：“我們希望名字承載對(duì)過(guò)去的回憶，但也希望它能在未來(lái)傳達(dá)項(xiàng)目包容并蓄的本質(zhì),。我們?cè)噲D找到一種合適的方式,，表明我們?cè)谶@里迎接著年輕的男孩和女孩?！?

幼年童子軍（Cub Scouts,，針對(duì)7至10歲兒童的項(xiàng)目）的名字沒(méi)有改變。項(xiàng)目的主辦機(jī)構(gòu)Boy Scouts of America也會(huì)保留原來(lái)的名字,。

至今為止,，已有超過(guò)3,000名女孩加入了幼年童子軍。明年開(kāi)始,，原名美國(guó)童子軍的項(xiàng)目也會(huì)開(kāi)始接納她們,。

去年10月，BSA宣布董事會(huì)已經(jīng)“一致通過(guò)”歡迎女孩加入組織的提議,。當(dāng)時(shí),，邁克·蘇博爾表示這個(gè)決定符合機(jī)構(gòu)的使命和核心價(jià)值觀，有助于塑造下一代領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者,。（今年早些時(shí)候,，機(jī)構(gòu)宣稱(chēng)他們也會(huì)同樣接納跨性別的成員。）

這十年來(lái),，BSA的成員減少了近三分之一,。2016年的BSA年度報(bào)告顯示，參加項(xiàng)目的6至17歲男孩目前有2,085,310人,。而2000年加入的男孩數(shù)則是3,118,111人,。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

After 108 years, the Boy Scouts are getting a name change.

The Boy Scouts of America, which recently changed its policies to allow girls to join the organization, will rename its flagship program from Boy Scouts to Scouts BSA next February.

“We wanted to land on something that evokes the past but also conveys the inclusive nature of the program going forward,” said Chief Scout Executive Mike Surbaugh. “We’re trying to find the right way to say we’re here for both young men and young women.”

There’s no change to the Cub Scouts name (the program meant for seven to 10-year-olds). And the parent organization Boy Scouts of America will keep its name as well.

To date, more than 3,000 girls have joined the Cub Scouts. The formerly-named Boy Scouts will begin admitting them next year.

BSA announced last October its board had “unanimously” approved a proposal to welcome girls to the fold. Surbaugh, at the time, said the decision was in line with the organization’s mission and core values and would help shape the next generation of leaders. (Earlier in the year, it announced it would begin accepting transgender members as well.)

Overall, BSA membership is down by almost a third this decade. According to Boy Scouts of America’s 2016 annual report, currently 2,085,310 boys ages six to 17 were enrolled in its programs. In 2000, 3,118,111 boys were enrolled in them.
