Scouting America on the High Desert could see major impact from Secretary Hegseth’s potential funding cuts
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has drafted a memo to Congress with a plan to cut funding from Scouting America, formerly the Boy Scouts of America.
According to NPR, Secretary Hegseth writes the organization has lost meritocracy and has become an organization designed to attacking "boy-friendly spaces."
Central Oregon chapters of the Scouts could see a dramatic shift in funding if the secretary's plan goes through to end the over century-old relationship between the Scouts and the Department of Defense/War.
KTVZ's Spencer Sacks spoke with an Eagle Scout. He will have a full report tonight on KTVZ News at 10:00 p.m. on Fox and 11:00 p.m. on NBC.
