No, I didn't miss it. The ACLU is attempting to have the whole thing reversed.

That would be quite a feat, considering that the Boy Scouts won in the Supreme Court.

And the ACLU is also attempting to stop the BSA from making any reference to God

How exactly would the ACLU be able to prevent the Boy Scouts from referencing God?

Many regarded the Supreme Court's ruling in the Dale case not merely as a victory for Boy Scouts, but also as a victory for freedom of speech.  Others, however, regarded it as a call to battle, and they set out to punish Scouting for standing up for, and affirming, its First Amendment freedoms.  Leading that attack have been state and local governments, frequently aided and abetted by the American Civil Liberties Union, or ACLU.
 
At the beginning of 2004, Boy Scouts is engaged in litigation about its relationship with government.

l   Litigation regarding access to government forums

This litigation takes place against a historical backdrop of cases challenging Boy Scouts’ membership and leadership standards.

l   Litigation regarding Scouting’s “duty to God”

l   Litigation regarding Scouting’s duty to be “morally straight”

l   Litigation regarding girls seeking membership
