US EditionPentagon could cut ties with the Boy Scouts over ‘attacking boy-friendly spaces’: NPR
The Pentagon plans to cut medical and logistical aid for the National Jamboree and ban Scout meetings on military bases, ending a century-long partnership, affecting 20,000 Scouts.
- The Pentagon is preparing to end a century-old partnership with Scouting America by stopping DoD medical and logistical aid and barring Scout access to military installations, including the National Scout Jamboree in West Virginia.
- Hegseth says the group has strayed from its mission, criticizing Scouting America as 'genderless' and promoting diversity, equity and inclusion, echoing rhetoric from a Quantico, Virginia speech months ago.
- Scouting America was founded in 1910 and has more than one million youth members, while U.S. military support formalized in 1937 has included trucks, ambulances, medical teams, and aid for the National Scout Jamboree with as many as 20,000 participants.
- Navy Secretary John Phelan pushed back, warning the plan could be too restrictive and harm recruitment, while Scouting America said it was surprised and disappointed and Congress's response remains unclear as Jamboree planning continues.
