Having been a Girl Scout for twelve years, I don't understand why BSA can't model itself more after Girl Scouts. GSUSA doesn't discriminate against atheists or gays, and consequently has avoided all the entanglements that BSA is getting itself into. As a taxpayer, I don't want my money going to support a group that discriminates against my friends and me. I find it sad that so many people celebrate Boy Scouting in spite of these traits. Scouting can be a great experience, but I don't think discrimination should have a place in any child's life.
