DOTHAN Ala.(WTVY)- Boy Scouts of America is now opening up a girl division for girls.
Boy scouts changed the name from boy scouts to scouts BSA.
The girl division is also called "Scouts BSA"
The program is identical to the boy's program and officials say the program has been in the works for some time now.
Executive Director of Boy Scouts Jerry Freyberg said, "The family and parents have the desire to have their children involved in the boy's scout program for certain values that they see out of it. I think young ladies are attracted to the program because of the challenging outdoor program it has and the adventures that are involved."
