Boy Scout membership is not critical to normal everyday living and/or travel in the country (as food and lodging are in my example above). Education can easily be argued to be. This is no slam-dunk.

The ACLU and other liberals tried to use the "public accommodation" angle on the Boy Scouts and lost.

They lost the battle. The war still rages on. Witness that judge in San Diego who agreed with a pair of gay "parents" that the Scouts' long-term $1 lease in a public park was un-Constitutional because the Scouts were, in his skewed view, "a religious organization," which allowed him to use the canard of separation of church and state to boot them off.
