The directive followed an agreement with the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois, which said that the direct public sponsorship of Boy Scout troops posed a constitutional conflict because Scouts must pledge "to do my duty to God." This is bullcrap. The BSA should tell the ACLU to go pound sand. There is no Constitutional conflict.
"Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of a religion or the free exercise thereof."
How does the Boy Scout pledge run afoul of that?
As a matter of fact, this agreement with the ACLU is unconstitutional as it restricts the free exercise of religion of many Boy Scouts.

The problem for us is that the ACLU does not pay a price whenever they pull this BS on someone.In fact their attorneys often get public money. If they had to pay a high price every time they went up against a righteous group like the Scouts they would stop this nonsense in a hurry. If there are no consequences for them it will only get worse.
