LAKE FOREST, Ill. (WLS) -- The Boy Scouts of America officially became Scouts BSA Friday in a move to welcome girls into the organization for the first time, and a Lake Forest teen was the first girl to form an all-girls troop.

Morgan Holmes, 17, filed paperwork to form the troop in December. The troop currently has eight members, and Morgan's father serves as Scout Master.
