In my opinion, you cannot be discriminitory in any way (unless you can prove by past actions that the person you discriminate against has a history of harming others, in this case a pedophile) if you expect government funding or use of government funded buildings.
If the BSA wants to claim they are private and therefore they can have rules that discriminate, they should not be allowed to take and government funding in any way.
The Salvation Army preaches Christianity, they recieve absolutely no government funds and have survived. So shall the BSA.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
