I'm not going to ask you to quote a source on that one, but you speak of something I've never personally observed: a woman Boy Scout master. And if you're referring to den mothers of cub scouts as "BSA leaders at the younger levels," that's a totally different animal.

I fail to see why this is even an issue. Boys and girls both need adult role models of both sexes, and what the leaders do in the privacy of their own homes has no impact whatsoever on their ability to teach young people responsibility, leadership, honor, etc.

That's fine, but what scoutmasters do or advocate on overnight camping trips and visits to the "old swimming hole" are a different matter entirely.
To use an old quote, "it wouldn't be wise to lock a starving man in a factory with 10,000 chocolate bon-bons."
