because it's members were not asked
Then they don't have to keep being members. This is how any organization with a board of directors works. The leaders make a decision, the members can follow that decision or leave. There were no external forces or organizations that made the scouts do this.
The Boy Scouts have been waning in numbers for years now, and they identified a way that they could both serve more families and children, as well as bolster their numbers. The only effect of this decision is that now girls can achieve the rank of Eagle Scout which is far more well-known and prestigious than the girl scout equivalent (which is called the Gold Award, but the fact that you've never heard of it might imply that it isn't exactly equivalent).
This is a purely positive change that literally only helps people. But leave it to Drich to find something wrong with that.
