> The Boy Scouts of America has allowed girls in their other programs since the 1970s. Only one (Exploring, which became Venturing), really. BSA has four youth programs: Cub Scouts - for boys and girls from kindergarten through fifth grade. Girls were allowed to join the Cut Scouts program as of October 2017. Scouting (formerly Boy Scouts) for young men 11 to 18. Young women will be able to join in February 2019. Venturing - for young men and women ages 14 to 21. Young women were allowed to join starting in 1969. (Venturing was "Exploring" then, and Exploring / "Senior Scouts" started in the 1930s for boys 15 and older. Sea Scouting - for young men and women ages 14 to 21. Previous to 2016, Sea Scouting was part of Venturing, and previous to that, part of Exploring.
