So, you were making an assertion that mormons possibly have less influence than Catholics or Baptists with the BSA...

So,...I gave you some information.

It doesn’t prove that they have more or less influence than any other church.

Sorry, I might have misunderstood you.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), a longtime supporter of the Boy Scouts of America, teaches that homosexual activity is immoral.[50] The LDS Church is the largest single sponsor of Scouting units with over 30,000 units nationwide, which comprise about 13% of BSA’s youth members.[51][52] In 2000, an attorney representing the LDS Church stated that “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ... would withdraw from Scouting if it were compelled to accept openly homosexual Scout leaders”.[51][53] This does not differ from the LDS Church policy of allowing “non-practicing” self professed gay members to enjoy all the same rights and privileges as any other church member.

An LDS spokesman issued a statement “We caution others not to speculate about our position .... Neither has the [LDS] Church launched any campaign either to affect or prevent a policy change.”[54]
