This does not even make sense. I was in the Boy Scouts a few years and never heard of cutting down forests or other such things. Yes we did burn a few sticks here and there but that is about the extent. I think this is all lies by a media that does not like the boy scouts.
I seem to remember planting trees as a Boy Scout in the 1970’s, on area’s that had been cut. Nothing wrong with raising money through responsible harvesting and replanting.
