Pentagon Pact Nudges Scouts Away from DEI Policies
TL;DR Summary
Scouting America says it will roll back diversity, equity and inclusion policies, including discontinuing the Citizensihp in Society badge, under a Pentagon-backed deal to preserve on-base access and support for its next four-year jamboree. The group maintains it will continue to welcome all youth, including girls and transgender participants, and has not reverted to the Boy Scouts of America name, despite criticism from critics like Pete Hegseth.
