"Despite this juggernaut of opposition to scouting policy from the Reform movement’s leadership, the rank and file of Reform member scouters has not necessarily chosen to follow all of their leaders’ recommendations. About 20% of Reform temple scouting units have shut down permanently, but many have been re-chartered to Conservative or Orthodox synagogues, Jewish day schools or JCCs."

Mwahaha.

Actually, I was a Jewish scout. There were plenty in my troupe, which was all Jewish, back in the day (not all that long ago, since I'm only in my early 20s now)...before the lobbyists and 'rights' lawsuits started. This was in Canada. Basically, a lot of the troupes just...vanished. They forcibly made all the troupes co-ed. Instead of doubling, the numbers halved, then continued to decline.

Go figure.
