You’re gonna want to look at today’s news out of the Boy Scouts.

Short version: the US military provides some funding to the scouts. Hegseth threatened that funding to push the scouts to roll back LGBT-friendly policies, and they’ve caved. Along with that, other changes include waiving fees for children of members of the military, dropping a citizenship merit badge, and adding a military merit badge.

They don’t appear to be planning a new organization, they’ll just co-opt the BSA.
