I worked at one of their high adventure bases last summer and this practice is still in use. It was surprising how many gay guys I met while I was there. No one talks about it sort of like the old military policy.  http://www.philmontscoutranch.org/filestore/philmont/pdf/StaffApp.pdf - It conveniently leaves out that they won’t discriminate based on sexual preference. Religious beliefs are a big reason the Boy Scouts won’t hire someone of same sexual orientation. Basically all of the top ranking professional scouters are Mormon and give thousands of dollars to the organization. In other words, they call the shots whether you like it or not.
