Scouting America to alter policies to maintain military support, Hegseth says [View all]

Scouting America will change several of its policies at the urging of the Pentagon, including one targeting transgender youths, if it wants to keep the U.S. military's support, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Friday.
Some of the changes mirror what the organization suggested to the Department of Justice earlier this year, which included discontinuing its Citizenship in Society merit badge and introducing a Military Service merit badge, the Pentagon said.
Under Hegseth, the Pentagon has taken aim at the military's partnership with Scouting America, decrying its historic rebrand in 2024 from the Boy Scouts and other changes in recent years that he sees as part of "woke culture" efforts that he wants to root out.
Hegseth said in a video posted on X that he had been "seriously considering" ending all Scouting America support after the organization "lost their way" and became "greatly wounded" as diversity, equity and inclusion efforts "crept in" and "the focus on God as the ruler of the universe was watered down to include openness to humanism and Earth-centered pagan religions."
