I doubt that it will be the BSA that forces the issue. I'm pretty sure that the issue will be forced by a social activist LDS parent; one not unlike the grandstanding Tabernacle Choir singer who didn't think it enough just to not go, but tried to use the popularity of her position to change everyone else's minds as well. I give it 5 years, and some parent is going to come out against BSA and the church and BSA will throw up their hands and say "it's not us - it's them" and the Church will then run its own program.I agree that this is what it will have to come down to...or a forced curriculum that is in contravention of God's plan. We had a young woman that suffers from these gender identity issues, but I think the ward handled it well. She is loved and cared for, but the expectations of where she would go on Wednesday nights and what bathroom she would use were made clear to her and her parents in a private conversation. Unless BSA forces the issue, I think the Church keeps on with the Boy Scouts. How long until they force the issue is anyone's guess.The Church will only leave when there is a specific instance where BSA seeks to impose these things on the Church--e.g. force them to have a gay Scoutmaster, force them to let Beehive who identifies as male participate in Scouts as opposed to Young Women. It will take something of that magnitude to move the needle with the Brethren who are thoroughly invested in Scouting.
