Does Hegseth know that the scouts aren’t part of the military and they’re a private organization? I’m just wondering because he doesn’t know much, especially when it comes to the military.
Eagle Scouts get advanced rank after basic/boot. That translates into pay. Kicking girls out of the BSA is basically denying them a valuable head-start.

OK, and when was the last time scouts were called up to duty? I don’t remember the scouts being out there in Afghanistan. And that’s Eagle Scout, not Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, or Girl Scouts, and most Eagle Scouts don’t even attend military. So be that as it may, what it is and what it actually is are two different things they want to take funding because they’re afraid of vaginas and the Boy Scouts or scouting in general. Hegseth, like many of his ilk, is afraid of vaginas. They’re also afraid of people, removing their penises and making them vaginas.
