That sounds like a great strategy.
When the Mormons completed their exodus from the organization, there simply were not enough members remaining to support the extensive Boy Scout infrastructure in those areas.
I heard Mormons were somewhere around 20% of their membership nationwide. In those areas, it was closer to 75%. Quite a price to pay to please the 2% of the population (or less) which is Sodomite. And that is just one sect with a lot of data to support what happened.
