The Pentagon is nearing a final agreement with Scouting America over its DEI policy, according to a Defense Department spokesman.

"From Day One at the War Department, we have made it very clear: No more DEI at DoW. Zero tolerance," DOD spokesman Sean Parnell posted on X on Monday. "As a result, over the past several months, the Department of War has been reviewing its relationship with Scouting America—formerly known as the Boy Scouts of America. A great organization, that has — in many ways — lost its way.

Parnell referenced President Trump's executive order from last year that ended DEl preferences in federal contracts.

"But, for more than a decade now, Scouting America's leadership has made decisions that run counter to the values of this administration and this Department of War, including an embrace of DEl and other social justice, gender-fluid ideological stances. This is unacceptable," Parnell continued.

"Our review of the DoW's financial assistance and partnership with Scouting America, including its quadrennial National Jamboree celebration, has been rigorous and ongoing. Scouting America remains far from perfect, but they have firmly committed to a return to core principles. Back to God and country—immediately! Scouting America and the Department of War are near a final agreement where we believe we can continue our partnership with Scouting America, as long as the organization rapidly implements the common-sense, core value reforms. They are on the clock, and we are watching.

"We have more to announce soon," he added.

The announcement comes after a draft memo was sent to Congress in November, according to NPR's review of the document, in which Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that the Pentagon was planning to end its support of Scouting, saying the organization had changed into a place designed to “attack boy-friendly spaces.”

He proposed the Pentagon end its medical and logistical aid to Scouting America’s National Jamboree, which has as many as 20,000 scouts attend every four years. The DOD would no longer let Scouts meet on military installations in the U.S. and abroad, where many bases have active Scout programs.

Scouting America told Stars and Stripes in a statement on Tuesday, “For nearly 116 years Scouting has stood as a cornerstone of American ideals, good citizenship, service, and adventure for American youth. We are encouraged by tonight’s social media post by the Pentagon, and we look forward to providing more details as we move ahead.”
