I was raised LDS, and Boy Scouts were pretty much a requirement up into high school.  I remember wanting to leave the scouts in early high school, and my parents tried to talk me out of it with every breath they had.  The scouts are tradition with LDS, and they value it as one of their top fellowship tools with children/teenagers. 

I think I read a while back that more than a third of boy scouts were LDS based, so you're right....without the blessing of the church, this would be terrible for the organization.
