Have you asked yourself if most or all Mormon chartered groups @ Mormon churches allow non-Mormon Boy Scout leaders?
And if most or all of them do not, will we hear your same accusation of the Mormon church?

(Just checkin' your face...whether it's one side or two)

I've been a Scout leader for over fifty years.
I have a Silver Beaver from Denver Area Council.
The Mormon Church uses the scout program as
an adjunct to it's program.
That is not the program of Baden-Powell.
And when a so-called "Christian" church does the same
they are neither running a Boy Scout program nor
a Christian program.

Uri’el, thank you for your service to the Scouting program! Wow, Silver Beaver.

As an Eagle Scout and adult Scouter, I too share your love for scouting and see how it helps boys.

While the LDS scouting program is modified slightly, it's very much in line with Powell's vision.

LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson is a lifelong scouter. President Monson is the recipient of the BSA Silver Beaver Award (1971), Silver Buffalo Award (1978), and of international Scouting’s highest award, the Bronze Wolf (1993). He is a member of the BSA National Executive Board, and has been for many years.

The scouting program is a integral part of the LDS community.
