Boy Scouts sue LGBTQ travel group ‘Queer Scout’ over its name The company, which uses an image of a pink fox for its logo, was accused of “diluting @BoyScouts’ famous trademarks and falsely associating with Boy Scouts,” according to the court filing. The development came during a tumultuous month for relations between the Trump administration and Scouting America, which receives support from the military. the-independent.com/news/wor… via @Independent

So sad! Scouting America responded on Tuesday to a reported memo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth seeking to cut ties with the organization, saying it was “surprised and disappointed” by the potential policy change, as the military has given its support to the Scouts since 1937. “The Scouting movement has had a strong relationship with our nation’s military going back more than a century,” according to the group. “From the tremendous support of the West Virginia National Guard at our National Jamborees to Scout troops that provide stability for the children of military families deployed around the globe, our nation’s military has walked side-by-side with Scouts for generations.” It also noted that “an enormous percentage of those in our military academies are Scouts and Eagle Scouts.” Hegseth is reportedly upset with the group for promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. His memo, first reported by NPR, accuses Scouting America — formerly known as the @BoyScouts of America — of attacking boy-friendly spaces and for being “genderless.” The memo has yet to be sent to Congress. bit.ly/44zeCNR by @EllenEMitchell via @TheHill
