Hell will freeze over first. Here in the UK, where the scout movement started, we are happy with openly gay scouts. It would be unlawful to discriminate against them.

The time is long overdue for the International Scouting leadership to revoke the rule that says only one Scout body may be recognised in each country, and to recognise and actively promote one of the several excellent alternatives to BSA.
It's too much to hope that BSA would ever get de-recognised, of course.

This is a great example of how too many ruin the group. When groups get too large, they lose focus. National anything is always a bad idea, unless it is an empty framework to bind the smaller groups together. Like the American nation was meant to be, states bound together by a common tie of a small national government. But things get taken away from the local leaderships, and then you have a heartless monstrosity.
Decisions should be left to the local chapters. Groups of the size that know and understand the situation, and know best how to deal with it. Not someone from thousands of miles away with no intimate or even vague information.

Perhaps a little hope here.
