Because the BSA is not a church. It requires that you have a religious belief, but it does not require that you have any specific religious belief. You do not have to be a Catholic, or a Jew, or a Moslem, etc., etc., to join. You can worship a tree in your front yard if you want; it's all good to the BSA. So allowing the BSA to distribute recruitment material in the schools is not equivalent to letting the Jehovah's Witnesses do the same.

Oh, now, I highly doubt that... lol. Are you aware of any scout admitted by taking an oath to a tree? If so, then no one should have a problem joining the scouts. I could take my sons there right now and tell them we belong to the Church of Monday Night Football...
