Chicago has done no such thing. I challenged a Chicago Tribune columnist
who asserted the same to check his facts. He did, and found that neither
the City of Chicago nor the Chicago Park District have any policy
restricting the BSA from use of their facilities. The Chicago Tribune will
be issuing a correction.
Now, the City of Chicago no longer *sponsors* units, but that's an entirely
different issue. That policy was adopted about 3 years ago.
