Scouting America says it's keeping its new name and preserving its service to the 200,000 girls who participate in its programs following Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's announcement it's altering several policies at the urging of the Pentagon. One of the policies targets transgender youths. Hegseth made the announcement Friday.

Title IX prohibits discrimination in education and has produced dramatic growth in girls and women's sports.
