BRUNSWICK, Ohio -- Scouts BSA Troop 7407 made history Feb. 1, but it was pretty much another day at the office for the 11 members.

“We were on a campout Feb. 1,” laughed Scoutmaster Ginger Foust. The troop is officially the first Scouts BSA troop for girls in Brunswick.

Feb. 1 also marked the name change of the 100-plus-year-old Boy Scouts of America program to Scouts BSA, as the group began allowing in girls ages 11-17.

“A lot of it has to do with the programming and the fact that a number of the girls are sisters of Eagle Scouts,” Foust said at a Brunswick City Council meeting last month, where the group was recognized by council and Mayor Ron Falconi.

“My daughters have three Eagle Scout brothers and have already been at every campout we went on," Foust said.

Foust declined to comment on what, if any, affect Girl Scouts of America programming has had on participation rule changes at Scouts BSA.

“I really can’t say anything about that,” she said. “I’ve been a Boy Scout leader for 17 years.”

Members of Troop 7407 are Gabby Foust, Katelyn Rupert, Claire Getz, Jessica Schneider, Stella Morosky, Savannah Mitchell, Elise Kellar, Cloe Havanek, Olivia Ortiz, Marisa McCartin and Mikayla Karla.
