It’s because the Scouts (formerly Boy Scouts) started accepting girls in 2019, prompting the name change. However, they are a separate organization from the Girl Scouts so they still exist. But without that context it does sound sexist
yeah, my recollection is (simplified and excluding nonbinary) Scouts USA = boys and girls allowed, historically only boys. popcorn. around here, better facilities overall. Girls Scouts = no boys, historically only girls. cookies. around here, better program overall. as in all local organizations, whether you have a good troop/club/whatever depends on the local individuals more than the governing organization.
Scouts and Girl Scouts sounds even more sexists than having Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts

If it’s anything like the UK, girl scouts for TERFs, scouts for everyone.
they want to make it sound like it’s not just for boys
there were a number of years in the middle where girls were allowed to join but it was still called boy scouts
girl scouts is a separate organization tho, idk if they really have influence over each other

The only part of being in girl scouts I liked, selling those cookies. Me, twin, and a red ryder wagon filled with cookies going door to door.
It just sort of sounds like Girl Scouts and Normal Scouts doesn’t it?
