One other huge victory for the vile left is the BSA property. How many thousands of acres do the Scouts own? Boy Scouts and friends of scouts have left farms, forests, buildings, vehicles and money to the BSA.

There are great camps like Philmont that now are controlled by the left and some greedy power brokers.

The annual report notes about 1/2 billion in assets ~ at the same time many, if not most of the camps used for summer camp are owned by OTHER nonprofits that lease to the Boy Scouts and other groups.

Property 'owned' by individual troops is not counted in the national annual report.

There's more there than most folks believe, but actually a lot less than is seen by casual observers.

The Mormons are about 30% of the organization and they maintain what amounts to autonomy so they'll be unaffected by this decision even when it comes to summer camp.
