What were Mormons doing in the BSA in the first place?
You’d think with that many teens, they have their own Mormon version of the boys scouts.
The Mormons could start their own “Sea Organization (Sea Org) “
The BSA once represented values that a large swath of Americans could agree on, so there was no need to develop a parallel organization. Not so much anymore ... sadly.
Why shouldn’t they support the BSA?

Uh, the Mormon’s are Americans. Why would they have wanted a separate organization?
The BSA Venture program was pretty much established by Mormons to keep older boys in scouting. Scouting is part and parcel of Mormon youth programs. Venture crews also include girls.
There are no 11 year old queers so if there is a disruptive queer wanting to cause problems, a Venture crew is the logical entry point. The Mormons have decided to maintain church membership control and keep the elements of the BSA Venture program
