Boy Scouts of America Faces Shift on Gay Youth Policy
The BSA proposed a plan to admit gays as youth members or leaders, but public support was mixed and the plan drew criticism from conservative donors.

The movement totals about 2.6 million youth and 1 million adult leaders, with 100000 units, 70 percent religiously chartered. Major sponsors include liberal and conservative faith groups, with tensions over nondiscrimination policies dating to 2000.
