In a move towards rebranding and embracing inclusivity, the Boy Scouts of America announced it is changing its name to Scouting America. The change comes as the organization continues to emerge from bankruptcy and is paying out more than $2 billion to men who say they were sexually abused as scouts. Ali Rogin discussed more with Sydney Ireland, an Eagle Scout and advocate for girls in scouting. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
