BSA is likely to disappear - that is true.  Factors include:

- declining membership over decades (societal change)

- the Mormon church is withdrawing from BSA at the end of 2019.  This may seem insignificant, but Mormons make up 24% of current BSA membership.

- several class-action lawsuits against BSA are under way; these suits are modeled on the child abuse lawsuits against the Catholic church.  In some cases, the same national law firms are involved in both types of class actions.

- the girl scouts has sued BSA for allowing girls in scouting (which includes cub scouts - which are also now co-ed).

Finally - PP's post may be offensive to you, but there will, in fact, be some families who oppose making BSA co-ed, and who will not participate as a result.

It remains to be see if making BSA co-ed results in a net gain, or net loss, of members. [/quote]
