U.S. plans to cut ties with Boy Scouts
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning for the military to cut all ties with Scouting America, formerly known as the Boy Scouts. According to documents reviewed by NPR, Hegseth claims the organization is no longer a meritocracy and has become an organization designed to "attack boy-friendly spaces." In a draft memo to Congress, he criticizes Scouting for being "genderless" and for promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.
