The Mormons sponsor units that comprise about 13% of the BSA's membership, as do the United Methodists. The Roman Catholic Church is about a percentage point behind them. Neither the Mormons nor the RCC are eager to see openly homosexual leaders, and I doubt the Methodists are either. The Mormons (who have been active in sponsoring Scout units since 1916) and the RCC would very possibly take a walk out of the BSA if it changed its policies in this matter.

My sons have been members of both the LDS ward sponsored troop and an RCC sponsored troop. I encouraged my son to join the RCC troop to improve the breadth of age/experience within the troop membership and to seek leadership opportunities that simply weren't available in the LDS troop. My patrol at the PTA sponsored troop was larger than the whole troop at the LDS ward.

I was a member of a troop sponsored by a Methodist church in Springfield, VA. Our troop members included a wide variety of protestant denominations, Catholic and Jewish. The scout summer camp provided services for each and every faith present at the camp.
