After 114 years, the Boy Scouts of America is changing its name and rebranding as "Scouting America". They say it's to reflect their, quote, "ongoing commitment to welcome EVERY youth and family in America to experience the benefits of Scouting." It goes into effect on February 8th of next year for their 115th anniversary. Girls have been allowed since 2018, and over 6,000 have already made Eagle Scout.  So nothing's really changing there.  The point is to just make sure people know it's not just for boys. More than a few people online have pointed out there's already something called the GIRL Scouts.  So is this really necessary? Most don't realize the two groups aren't actually affiliated.  The Boy Scouts of America was founded in 1910.  The Girl Scouts launched two years later and still caters exclusively to young women. No word yet from them on the new rebrand.  But they weren't exactly thrilled when the Boy Scouts allowed girls in 2018.  It's hurt their recruitment efforts.

Marvel is going to release fewer movies and TV shows in the coming years.  Disney CEO Bob Iger says this is part of Marvel's strategy to focus on QUALITY over QUANTITY.  Quote, "We're slowly going to decrease volume and go to probably about two TV series a year instead of what had become four, and reduce our film output from maybe four a year to two or at the maximum three." Bob says there's a couple good movies for 2025, and then there will be more "Avengers". "Avengers: The Kang Dynasty" is exp to come out in 2026.
