Why would they? Parents have to fill out the form, if they're coming to a girls troop and checking the female box, that's good enough for me. 

What if the youth wants to be in the other gender program?

I'm not checking birth certificates and trans youth are welcome in my troop, you think that's abuse. We're miles apart ideologically. 

I'm good with where I'm at on this, alongside the many councils that have officially expressed the same stance. 

If you think this is abuse, you probably should report it. 

Be very careful.

If, Janey (who is really Jimmy) is in a tent with Jenny, and Jenny's parents do not know that Janey is Jimmy, then if Jimmy's jimmy gets seen by Jenny, then you may have a law suit on your hands.

And when they subpoena your computer, this thread may be used against you for damages.

You'd best inform all parents involved, and allow them to determine what is best for their youngsters.

I can't tell the motive, but Inquisitivescout points out rightly the risk of being all things to all scouts in this culture. Especially in a program where camping is the arena.

What I find fascinating is that both sides of the cultural spectrum believe theirs is the best approach for the growth and maturity of youth going into adulthood.
