If the LDS pulled out (and they would), the scouts would be gutted.

Where in the world would you get that idea?

Beacuse of the size of the LDS contribution to the BSA. I knew a fellow who acted as a liason between the LDS and BSA. He tossed out some astounding numbers about the number of LDS scouts there are and the size of the LDS financial contributions.

No, I don't recall the figures. It was years ago and I was only faintly interested in the conversation at the time. If it isn't true that the LDS is a major force in the BSA, well, I'm sorry for misleading.
