The fact that this is even being discussed should cause them to shed members
The BSA is looking at a losing proposition at this point. If they'd stood pat, they might have survived. By even considering the change, they have painted a target on their own backs. The Alinsky media onslaught will be non-stop. This will play out the way the Komen thing did when they cut off funding for Planned Parenthood Infanticide. The situation was irretrievable by that time. The BSA has likewise made it irretrievable at this point.
