The GSA is pissed at the BSA, because the BSA is allowing girls to join to swell the ranks, as there are about a million less scouts than there were ten years ago. Also, the rank of Eagle Scout carries a cachet that one can't get in the GSA program.
scout numbers has more to do with the leaderships change in morality allowing gay scout masters in the group.
Right or wrong, it was not accepted by the types of people who saw scouting as a right of passage or a transitional institution that would help see boys become young men.
If they want more number go back to what work for 150 years prior.
