The more I look at this, the more I question the legality of some outside entity "buying" Boy Scouts of America. The corporate entity itself, as charter by Congress, appears to be simply unsellable. Boy Scouts of America assets can be sold, and any property it has can be sold, but the charter would seem to make it impossible to authorize a sale. Moreover, any buyer would be prohibited by the charter itself from clearing out the board. Only the board itself can clear out the board or replace members of the board under 36 USC 30903 ("A vacancy on the board shall be filled by a majority vote of the remaining members of the board.") -
I was thinking the same thing. 1640 posts. Am I having a senior moment? I don't remember the name. -
I disagree. BSA could be sold/merged if a potential buyer would be allowed to completely replace the board/staff and institute necessary reforms. Of course, this will never happen. The board/staff will protect their positions at all costs, right to the very end.

@SemperParatus you've got quite the tenure here! Thanks for your service to Scouting, past or present. That being said, you clearly aren't happy with the BSA for untold reasons. So why are you still participating here? Don't you have something better to do? -
I've seen no COs disassociate from the BSA in the past few years. This is simply not true. Everyone involved knows that the bankruptcy is related to actions many years ago and is not representative of actions of the BSA today.
