The difference between us and BSA is that to us, people are people, and "gay" isn't an identity. It therefore doesn't matter what position they serve in our church so long as the walk uprightly the path of discipleship.
As soon as you incorporate LGBT terms as part of a person's identity, you are coming dangerously close to justifying sin because of some false notion of respect and tolerance. We know that before anyone was gay, they were individual sons and daughters of God.

You are right And that is why the BSA left us. We are of this world but this BSA worldly changes are not what we of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints can or will tolerate. Our Youth do have joint activities but they are carefully monitored. Four deep leadership. And Yes we have LGBTQ members but they must live up lives and have only one same partner all the time and never encourage anyone else to live their lifestyle. And yes many Eagles are sad to see this happening. OUr youth can join a scout troop on their own to get Eagle but not within our church as there will be no units in our church. Now in certain areas one can be a lone Scout to gain Eagle.
We are NOT going to run our own BSA or Scouting. We have a very different program with no merit badges or anything like it and no Eagle Scouts either.
