The organization began allowing gay youth in 2013 and ended a blanket ban on gay adult leaders in 2015. In 2017, it made the historic announcement that girls would be accepted as Cub Scouts as of 2018 and into the flagship Boy Scout program — renamed Scouts BSA — in 2019.
Thanks. I don’t know a great deal about Girl Guiding’s programme in the UK, but I understand that there’s a similar distinction between it and the Scout Association’s programme as there is in the US.
