One of the weirder moves by #Hegesth.
Personally (as both a #peace activist and a scouting alum), I think #Scouting may be better off without the military support in the long-term, but the rationale given for this is just bizarre.
The part of this that does concern me is that this policy would also bar Scout troops from meeting on military bases, a real problem for young people living on overseas military bases with a military parent. It seems unjust to deprive these kids of the opportunities of Scouting, just because because of Hegseth's gender paranoia and insecurities.
