“...they’d better band together and form a new organization similar to BSA that retains the traditional values of the BSA.”

You know, I was going to say that exact thing. But then it hit me when I read your comment - how would that new organization keep from getting sued by these destructive people?

Perhaps it would HAVE TO BE an explicitly religious organization.

I don't think so, and I don't think the Supreme Court case the BSA won in 2000 was decided on a religious freedom basis. It was decided that the BSA was a private organization and, therefore, had a right to freedom of association and to set its own membership guidelines.

A new organization would have to be privately funded, but it would not have to be specifically religious, though any new BSA-like organization would have some religious content.
