And the Boy Scouts of America has announced the organization will now accept all boys into the program, including transgender boys, regardless of what gender is marked on a child’s birth certificate. In announcing the shift, Boy Scouts Chief Scout Executive Michael Surbaugh said, “Communities and state laws are now interpreting gender identity differently than society did in the past.” Now parents simply have to mark their child’s gender on the Boy Scouts application in order for a boy to be accepted.
