No doubt the gay rights agenda will try to do that very thing. I have it on good authority that one of the reasons the BSA held off from making a blanket change to that effect in March, and made the smaller change they did last month, was due to the LDS board opposition to that effect.

I also know there is a LDS program on the shelf that will replace scouting if that ever happens. I pray it never does, but the Church will not allow gay leaders now or in the future. It is in direct opposition to what the Church and Scouting teach.

You are right. The final resolution was put off because of LDS lobbying. The compromise that was reached is part of that effort. But it may well have sealed the BSA’s ultimate fate, in spite of the fact that SCOTUS had supported the BSA’s earlier stance.

That the LDS has a Plan B is great. For them. For many in Scouting, there is no Plan B yet. And it breaks my heart to see such a venerable organization unnecessarily self-destruct.
