I would hope not. Our son is grown, but when he was a boy and in Scouts, there is no way in the world we would have let him go ANYWHERE with a gay leader. Also, allowing this would go counter to the aims of the Boy Scouts:

“The BSA goal is to train youth in responsible citizenship, character development, and self-reliance through participation in a wide range of outdoor activities, educational programs, and, at older age levels, career-oriented programs in partnership with community organizations. For younger members, the Scout method is part of the program to inculcate typical Scouting values such as trustworthiness, good citizenship, and outdoors skills, through a variety of activities such as camping, aquatics, and hiking.[4][5]” (Wikipedia)

Everybody knows this, and it would immediately wreck the movement. That’s the goal.
