If any of you are giving a dime to the United Way, please, move on over to DUh, where you belong.

My local Council had been getting allocations from about 10 different United Way chapters. All but one have kept their allocations substantially level. That one halved it last year, and have dropped us entirely this year. Given who it is, etc., I presume that it's over the homosexual membership issue. But the rest are keeping up support.

If you search on "United Way" and "Scouts", you'll find that the vast majority fund the BSA in their areas.

The United Way will always steer donations to causes they like and away from those they don't. Even "targeted" donations are re-programmed. If a person does a check off that they want their money to go to the local boy scouts, the local boy scouts will not get one additional dime over what the United Way has already allocated to them. This check-off may or may not be taken into consideration when setting levels for the next year, but I don't think the United Way is going to be increasing funding for the BSA anytime soon.
