In this Feb. 7, 2017 photo, Joe Maldonado, the first openly transgender member of the Boy Scouts, shows off the uniform he received from Scout leader Kyle Hackler to wear to his first meeting in Maplewood, N.J. Boy Scouts of America recently changed its policy to allow transgender children to join the organization. "I am accepted," Maldonado said as he put on the uniform. (Amy Newman/The Record via AP)
