1. The Boy Scouts of America’s rebranding will not impact Catholic scouting, according the National Catholic Committee on Scouting’s executive director, John Anthony. This week, the Boy Scouts announced that from February 2025 onward, the organization would be known as Scouting America in an acknowledgement that its membership has expanded to include multiple genders. The Boy Scouts’ decision in 2019 to admit female members was controversial among some church leaders, extending the decades-long controversy in Catholic scouting about gay members and leaders. But now, according to Anthony, a new name recognizing a gender-inclusive organization “doesn’t really impact us at all.”
