Scouting America reaches accord with Pentagon to maintain military support
Scouting America announced an accord with the Pentagon to align its policies with military priorities. The agreement focuses on removing what officials described as “radical woke ideology” from its programs and ensuring membership is based on “biological sex at birth.”
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth characterized the deal as strengthening military readiness and cohesion. The arrangement signals a shift toward policies that emphasize traditional eligibility criteria and a focus on unit effectiveness within the armed forces.
