Are Mormon Boy Scout executives ruining the organization's reputation?

Ryan Andreson, on whom Boy Scouts of America national
leaders have most recently brought down their hammer

The Boy Scouts of America has quickly become the Chick-fil-A of youth organizations.
      Instead of changing with the times, as have Girl Scouts, the BSA, in case after case, has fostered arbitrary discrimination against decent, upstanding gay or agnostic scouts or scoutmasters (reflecting historic and ongoing LDS prejudice) causing the organization one PR black eye after another and thousands of affected or sympathetic parents to look elsewhere for a better organization in which to enroll their sons.
     The BSA has a monopoly on the use of the word "Scouting" among boys, as no other male youth organization in the US may use "scouts" or "scouting" in its name. Reason: Wikipedia says the BSA lobbied Congress for a federal charter (to deal with competition from the Lone Scouts of America), which was granted to them by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916.
     Mormons exert far more influence in scouting than their incidence in the US population would lead one to believe, because the Mormon Church sponsors about 1/3 of the organization's troops. The BSA National Executive Board (about 77 members) rules the organization and has or does include such prominent LDS heavyweights as Mitt Romney, Thomas S. Monson and many others.
     This intransigent leadership repeatedly comes down hard — public relations be damned — on local scouting officials who dare to treat gay scouts or scoutmasters equitably.
     Currently, in the current San Francisco Bay Area, we see the spectacle of 18-year-old Ryan Andresen, who, after working toward Eagle Scout status for a decade and having his application approved by an Eagle Board of Review, suddenly saw his hopes dashed when national Boy Scout leaders reversed a local decision, and then evidently issued a gag order to the Bay Area Scout officials, after which, according to GLAAD, BSA smeared the teen.
