WTH do the Boy Scouts need with money??

A local church offers their basement one night a week for 2 hours to a collection of 30 well-behaved teenage boys supervised by two responsible men, so they can learn clarity in their moral values and plan upcoming camping trips on public or private land.

The boys (or their parents) buy their own uniforms, Boy Scout Handbook, camping gear. Parents drive them to and from the meetings and camp-outs.

If there is anything much more to it than this, anything requiring some expensive bureaucracy, then that’s the problem, and easily solved.

They aren't going to be able to support an expensive bureaucracy when non-corporate donations decline. I don't think the corporate donations will increase until the issue is settled regarding gay scoutmasters. I expect corporate donations to continue to decline, because the pressure will be unrelenting to authorize homosexual scoutmasters.

The lifeblood of the BSA are the 1 million volunteers. Assuming the # of volunteers drops by 40%, how does the BSA expect to effectively continue? Get 70% more output of the remaining volunteers, or go to homosexual groups for assistance?
