I can't imagine this is going to work out well for the BSA.

I suspect that they are about to lose a ton of funding, members and places to meet.

According to Wikipedia, the LDS church sponsors about 30,000 Scout units, about 13% of Scouts by population. I would assume they'd pull their sponsorship.

I didn't even consider that !!! The Mormon church uses the Scout program as their youth program.

Hopefully they'd just knock it down to local level and support those local troops that choose to keep their troop in line with what the church feels is right. But who knows.

I would suspect that troops sponsored by the LDS are likely to be led and managed by church members, so locally there might not be much change. The annual national/regional gatherings might get interesting, though.
