Pentagon says Scouting America will alter policies to maintain support from US military

State of the Union - (The New York Times)

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says Scouting America will alter several policies to maintain its support from the U.S. military.

The changes include a requirement that members use “biological sex at birth and not gender identity.” Hegseth has criticized Scouting America’s historic rebrand in 2024 from the Boy Scouts and other changes in recent years that he sees as part of “woke culture.”
