"The new name reflects the continuing efforts to welcome everyone to experience the benefits of Scouting," explains Marc Kogan, Black Swamp Scout Executive. The name change will go into effect on February 8, 2025, the organization’s 115th birthday.
Kogan notes, “We are excited to continue to welcome all youth into Scouting. Scouting makes youth prepared for life teaching today’s youth to become leaders of tomorrow!”
