I would expect the Mormon and Roman Catholic sponsored BSA councils etc to fight tooth and nail.

Well some will. But...The Mormons have recently run tv ads showing a tolerance of homosexuals. As in they don't really approve, but they're welcome to join anyway. Traditional Catholic parishes (if any actually sponsor BSA -- I doubt it) WOULD fight tooth and nail. But many everyday Catholic "new church" type parishes would have no trouble with this at all.

BTW, I just heard a Fox News Radio report on this. Said it would be up to individual councils to decide. Maybe the best decision would be to leave and form a new, conservative organization.

...all too true, I’m afraid...my town’s parish, a fairly affluent suburban bunch, have a BSA troop, and there would be no questions asked...

...some of the men might grumble in the beginning, but their women, obsessed with ‘community’ spirit, and who really run these suburban churches, will eventually have their way...
