"surprised and disappointed by today's news about the potential policy change,"
"Over more than a century, we've worked constructively with every U.S. presidential administration - Republican and Democrat - focusing on our common goal of building future leaders grounded in integrity, responsibility, and community service."

A leaked memo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accuses the organization of trying to "attack boy-friendly spaces" and urges withdrawal of medical and logistical support at the National Jamboree and a ban on Scout troops from military installations. The memo also criticizes the group's promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Scouting America expressed surprise and disappointment, noting a century-long, nonpartisan relationship with the military and longstanding support from Guard units and military families.
