The head shed cannot do much without willing member organizations. They teach that class in Community Organization 101.
"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds." Samuel Adams, 1722-1803
Ol' Sam almost sounds like an Alinsky disciple.
The fight seems to be settling down to 4 church denominations - (1) LDS, (2) UMC, (3) RCC, and (4) Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). The first 3 charter the most units. The SBC is not a big actor in BSA in terms of chartering units. It has its own male youth organization, the Royal Ambassadors (RAs), which it focuses upon. The first 3 denomination each has a national church committee which oversees its scouting outreach ministry. To date, only the SBC has voiced strong opposition to the "local option." The LDS and UMC have used weasel words in their public responses, essentially wait and see. The RCC response, though tepid, was somewhat more supportive of the status quo.
Of course, the volunteers in the trenches, i.e., the units, are bracing for the 3-month onslaught against BSA by all-things-homosexual. It will be interesting to see if the Honorary President of the BSA, POTUS #44 BHO, wades into the fray. Maybe even the SOTU Address tomorrow night?
