BSA does not discriminate against children.

Gay boys cannot be members of the BSA. There was a highly public case a
number of years ago (but I can't remember where) when a soon to be Eagle
scout came out and he was promptly thrown out.

Eagle Scout, as a title, confers leadership status on a Boy Scout for
life. That, too, was definitionally true before popular society
changed its folkways enough to require the Scouts to articulate its
position on gay leaders. Once an Eagle, always so, unless you've found
yourself at variance with the Oath and Law.
