The update is simply that the Supreme Court isn't granting an emergency request. This has been ongoing for years. As the actual history shows, the bankruptcy has to do with what was going on over the years, not that single year (over 82,000 reported victims). The only thing that changed around 2017 is the individual sponsoring organizations get to decide whether they allow certain leaders, etc. The troops at many churches still don't allow homosexual leaders. It was already being allowed by certain local groups, and by changing this, it moves the liability involved to the local level. Otherwise, discrimination laws in certain localities would have been used to take the Boy Scouts under.

When I was in the boy scouts, the girls had, and still do, the girl scouts.

We had real men as scout masters and not wannabe men.

I also haven't heard of any boys wanting to be in the girl scouts.

If its not dead yet it will be. The writing was on the wall when the LDS/Mormon Church cut ties with BSA. It's estimated the church was responsible for 30+-% of membership, accounted for 90% of all Eagle Scouts, and funneled hundreds of millions into the once upstanding organization. Sad.
