ianwilkins 366 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 43 minutes ago, Tampa Turtle said: "Scout Me In"?.... maybe the videos will sound better. I am a little underwhelmed. In Tampa we have had a number of these awkwardly worded noun/verb confusion slogans: (for Tampa visitors) "Tampa with me" and the hapless NFL Tampa Buccaneers "Siege the Day". Maybe we need @Cambridgeskip to teach us Continentals how to form proper simple sentences. I hear they got smart parents in his Troop. Ooof, "Tampa with me"? As in, tamper? Interfere? Hmmm. But yeah, don't ask us brits, we'll probably suggest Scouty McScoutFace these days. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Eagle1993 2160 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Just as some schools change mascots my guess is that some people will keep with the past name and call themselves Boy Scouts. Girls and the most of the next generation boys “scouts” will probably go with “Scouts”. That is what I have seen after mascot changes at schools that have flaired similar passions (older and current students stay with the previous version but the vast majority of new students move on). I was a Boy Scout and I expect many current and past members will continue to use that name. That said, it doesn’t mean the name can’t change going forward and I tend to agree having one program name for 11-17 YOs makes sense (just like Cub Scouts and Venturing). 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It is a question, not a statement of fact. If the 11-17 program is now called "Scouting" does that change what the youth are called? Cub Scouts are called Cub Scouts Sea Scouts are called Sea Scouts Venturers are called Venturers Explorers are called Explorers Are male Scouts age 11-17 still called "Boy Scouts" or just scouts? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Youth that age will say “I am a Scout.” Link to post Share on other sites
