Boy Scouts of America changing name to Scouting America

Boy Scouts of America is changing its name to Scouting America for the first time in its 114-year history to boost inclusion and improve participation. The move follows the organization's acceptance of gay youth and girls in recent years while emerging from bankruptcy due to sexual abuse claims.

Declining Workforce Participation Among American Men

American men are increasingly opting out of the workforce, with only 89% of working-age men currently employed or actively seeking work compared to 97% in 1950. Factors contributing to this trend include declining participation in higher education, changes in job market dynamics, and dissatisfaction with available job options. The shift has significant economic and societal implications.
