But isn’t the Boy Scouts a secular organization?

No, to be a leader you have to believe in God. Atheists are not allowed.

And they charter it often through private organizations like churches.

How many Mormon churches allow non-Mormons to be leaders in the Boy Scout chartered groups they run?

We a had a similar problem with a Local Catholic Church. You had to be Catholic to lead scouts in that Cub Pack.

None around here. The LDS Scouting program is a little different.

Fortunately there are plenty of Packs around so we just went to a different one.

Most Mormon wards will allow non-lds scout leaders. My father (not lds) was my scout leader in an lds scout troop for many years. In my current ward, 2 of the leaders are not lds.
