From Breitbart: U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is reportedly proposing the military cut ties with Scouting America over its embrace of gender ideology and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies.
The group, which used to be called Boy Scouts of America before it went “gender-neutral,” has become an organization designed to “attack boy-friendly spaces,” Hegseth said in a draft memo to Congress first obtained by NPR.
The U.S. military has provided support to the Scouts for more than 100 years, and assistance was formalized in 1937. However, in one memo, Hegseth allegedly says: “The organization once endorsed by President Theodore Roosevelt no longer supports the future of American boys.”
Hegseth’s proposal calls for the Pentagon to no longer provide medical and logistical aid to the National Jamboree and for the military to no longer allow Scout troops to meet at military installations in the United States and abroad, according to the report.
When asked, an official at the War Department reportedly told NPR that they would not comment on “leaked documents that we cannot authenticate and that may be pre-decisional.”

Family Research Council president Tony Perkins shared the following:
If true, this is a good decision by the Pentagon.
You’ll recall that the original purpose of the Boy Scouts was to shape boys into disciplined, virtuous young men—many of whom would later serve their nation in uniform. But beginning in 2013, when the Boy Scouts opened the door to homosexuality, the organization stepped away from the moral compass that had guided it for more than a century.
Leaders at the time, including Rex Tillerson, brushed aside the very oath that defined the movement:
“On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.”The decision marked a moment of capitulation—an attempt to appease the cultural pressures of the day, from activist groups to the broader cancel-culture environment. In doing so, the Boy Scouts left the trail that had shaped generations of young men. And today, as an institution, they are a shadow of what they once were—lost to history because they abandoned the very principles that gave them purpose.
If true, this is a good decision by the Pentagon.

With the help of former CIA Director Robert Gates, allowing gay scout masters (resulting in hundreds of cases of abuse) ruined the Boy Scouts. Hold them accountable. “Report: Hegseth Wants to Cut Ties with Scouts Over Gender Ideology, DEI” https://t.co/9WQ7V2wjjp
