IMHO, BSA troops will break away from the national organization, and form local organizations. For example, there are 5 excellent BSA troops in my community, all affiliated with churches. It would be natural for them to create a partnership within the community, while retaining the affiliation to their church.

My son's troop has plenty of activities independent of the national organization.

BTW, American Heritage Girls is booming in this community.

We're holding our fire until the votes have been counted. However, there's been plenty of discussion behind the scene.

But you’d miss out on all the coolest stuff the Scouts have to offer. All the high adventure stuff - Philmont, Seabase, etc. I’m saying my prayers that the Scouts survive this. I can tell you that while there is close to 50/50 sentiment on this vote from our council (Cradle of Liberty Philadelphia area), very few, if any, will leave if the ban is left in place.
