Aw c'mon, ya gotta be kidding! If not, get some facts! Neither "big
government" nor little government dictate the values of Scouting. The
congressional charter given to BSA carries absolutely no mandate to
indoctrinate anybody.

It is true that BSA, like most other organizations, enjoys some protection
under copyright and trademark laws. This, in no way restricts the
establishment of similar organizations under a different name to teach a
different set of values. There is no need for those who disagree with BSA
values to destroy or even invade BSA.
