I regard the whole thing as an attempt to warp young and impressionable minds, by manipulating the Scouts.
Yes, well, as a long-time Scout, I should mention that making an impression on young minds is the major mission of the BSA.
Normally, it is a good thing - it's a kind of tribe of second-fathers, in good position to help teach boys how to grow into good people and good citizens. All we have here is a bit of a disagreement on what that means. Hardly new to the Scouts.
