Bill Maher Criticizes Boy Scouts' Gender-Neutral Name Change as the "Kind of Thing That Gets Trump Elected"
Roger Krone, the President and CEO, mentioned that there was 'some backlash' to the name change, but noted a small spike in membership after the initial announcement in May.
Bill Maher criticized the name change, saying it is 'the kind of thing that gets Trump elected' and commented, 'Boy Scouts of America cannot be called Boy Scouts anymore because it's exclusionary.'
The organization's shift follows policy changes allowing girls to join in 2018, the inclusion of gay youth in 2013, and ending the ban on gay adult leaders in 2015.
