Rebranding for a New Era
This marks a major shift for the traditional organization, which historically excluded gay youth and girls from its programs. The Irving, Texas-based group announced the new name during its annual meeting in Florida.
Focus on Welcoming All Youth
Roger Krone, president and CEO since last fall, said the goal is to welcome all American youth into its programs over the next century. "In the next 100 years, we want any youth in America to feel very, very welcome to come into our programs," he said.
Launch Date
The official name change will take effect on February 8, 2025, aligning with the organization's 115th anniversary. This change marks a new chapter for the group as it aims to foster a more inclusive environment for youth across the country.
