Scouting America responded on Tuesday to a reported memo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth seeking to cut ties with the organization, saying it was “surprised and disappointed” by the potential policy change, as the military has given its support to the Scouts since 1937.
Congress requires the Pentagon to support Scouting America’s Jamboree, lending trucks, ambulances and medical teams free of charge.
“The Scouting movement has had a strong relationship with our nation’s military going back more than a century,” according to the group. “From the tremendous support of the West Virginia National Guard at our National Jamborees to Scout troops that provide stability for the children of military families deployed around the globe, our nation’s military has walked side-by-side with Scouts for generations.”
It also noted that “an enormous percentage of those in our military academies are Scouts and Eagle Scouts.”
Hegseth is reportedly upset with the group for promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. His memo, first reported by NPR, accuses Scouting America — formerly known as the Boy Scouts of America — of attacking boy-friendly spaces and for being “genderless.” The memo has yet to be sent to Congress.
“The organization once endorsed by President Theodore Roosevelt no longer supports the future of American boys,” Hegseth wrote in the memo.
The proposal calls for the Pentagon to pull medical and logistical aid to the National Jamboree, an event where up to 20,000 Scouts gather at a remote site in West Virginia about every four years. It also looks to prohibit Scouting troops from meeting at military installations in the U.S. and abroad.
In a statement to The Hill, a Pentagon official said the department “will not comment on leaked documents that we cannot authenticate and that may be pre-decisional.”
But Hegseth can withhold such aid if he determines giving...

When the kids started living in single parent households, scouting was taken over by the moms. Moms wrecked it. Then they allowed the homos in—because women like homos.
Some of the men I saw involved with our local troop would have been run out of town by the scout Dads of my youth.
When men abandon their kids…this is what happens.
“The Cascade Pacific Council of Scouting America is committed to foster a culture of diversity and inclusion that makes it enriching to participate, volunteer, and work in the Scouting program. In expanding our mission throughout SW Washington and NW Oregon, we are committed to becoming better prepared to serve people of all genders, orientations, ethnicity, physical ability, socio-economic status, political belief and faith, consistent with Scouting’s traditions and values.”
They call them "fag hags."
Our Mission is to guide generations of courageous young men to honor God, lead with integrity, serve others, and experience outdoor adventure.
Why are there still Girl Scouts if the Boy Scouts have been abolished?
Their goal is the feminization of America.
Pedophiles getting upset are they?

<> Boy Scouts of America changes name to ‘Scouting America’ to be ‘more inclusive’
The organization began welcoming homosexual-identifying boys in 2013, halted its ban on gay adult scout masters in 2015, announced in 2017 that girls who identify as ‘transgender’ could enter boys-only programs, and fully opened its membership to girls in 2018.
“What, not the They/Them scouts?”

Honestly, I do feel some sympathy for those who have tried to continue with Scouting. I know each troop can kind of set its own rules, but they way the parent organization has done this leaves people who don’t want to swallow those “guidelines” little room to maneuver.
In the end, it reminds me a bit of the “You knew I was a snake when you picked me up” kind of thing.
Sad.
Most likely the Scouts of your youth were Scout leaders covering up adult sex crimes with children.
What you get when you go Woke. You are no longer worthy of support.
go woke go broke scouts! Don’t want to hear the crying about you facing hte consequences of your moronic and filthy lack of morality decisions
Meanwhile silent and sometimes not-so-silent contempt and ruthless antagonism is returned to women by those same men.
Bring back the BOY Scouts, or cut them off.
The boy scouts has been destroyed by the left. It used to be a wonderful organization.
“as the military has given its support to the Scouts since 1937”
That’s the BOY scouts not “Scouting America” whatever the hell that is. I was in the Boy scouts in the early to mid 1970s I almost got Eagle, but it was some of the best times of my life and the one I belonged to Troop 293 in Hicksville Long Island was like the Marines. It was run by two WW2 Marine veterans and maaaan, the stuff we did! The “Blue nose” camping in sub freezing weather in upstate New York in little canvas tents that would constantly leak. I would wake up in the morning and all my clothes would be frozen solid LOL I was only 11 when we did that.
The sooner the organization formerly known as the Boy Scouts is ended the better.
The liberals took over and, as they always do, they destroyed it. End it. Maybe some of the human resources will end up elsewhere doing something wholesome.
It’s better to build boys than mend men.

Boy Scouts went homo 30 years ago and trans in the last decade. The should just shut it down.
