The Boy Scouts are becoming largely irrelevant. Blacks and Hispanics are extremely rare in the BSA. It is mostly an organization for white boys. Muslims are allowed in theory, but atheists are not.
The Boy Scouts of America is a organization. And just like in many other mature organizations, survival, growth, and increasing membership has become the top goal. I have seen the same thing happen with other groups like the Sierra Club and Greenpeace.
I don't particularly have anything against the Scouts, but since they are mostly for white kids and since they won't allow membership by boys who are atheists, I view the BSA as just another form of organized religion. It has not changed with the times and has grown increasingly irrelevant.
