After threatening to sever ties with Scouting America and kick the youth group off military bases worldwide, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday gave a six-month reprieve to the organization formerly known as the Boy Scouts of America.
Hegseth made the announcement in a video posted to X, framing it as an ultimatum to Scouting to conform to the Trump administration’s anti-DEI agenda. He detailed his many criticisms of the group, saying Scouts had “lost their way” by changing the organization’s name and “watering down” what he called “the focus on God as the ruler of the universe.”
He accused the Scouts of promoting “an insidious, radical, woke ideology that is anti-America and anti-American.”
He then slapped the reporter, yelled “No tagbacks!”, and ran up the ladder to his tree house. When the reporter tried to ask followup questions, Kegsbreath pulled the ladder up after himself and plugged his ears, screaming “No girls allowed!” until his mom brought him some dino nuggies.
