“We scoutmasters may be a tougher breed than you give us credit for. I am sure there are some that will give in, but there are those of us that know the fight isn’t over. Do not expect me to bend over and take it.
Good for you! How would it play out if a local Council refused to abide by the directive?”
I am not sure how it would work at a council level. I know in my council there was a very strong “NO” vote. I do know that at the unit level, the unit is owned by the chartering organization. The only thing the BSA can do is pull the charter. But the charter organization is in charge.
Of course, a well places and timed news story about young homosexual boys finding God could change the whole issue.
It’s simple enough - just transfer the whole organization to the traditionalist alternative. The problem is that you’ll have to figure out recruitment. It is difficult to recruit without the connection and advertisement associated with the Boy Scouts as a brand. The Boy scouts, despite their difficulties still are about 5x their size as they were in the pre-war era. It used to be very rare to find an actual boy scout and they WERE not very common.
