"Leads to"...?
They had their first meeting over the summer man. I can't even keep up with the radicalization.

As an Eagle Scout I would recommend the BSA to any family. Recently Scouting, like everything else, has been politicized. However Scouting is still very healthy and true to the American Spirit. If there's options for Cub Dens in your area check out how they are ran before righting them off completely.

I would not put my child in that position unless it was fully his decision and he understood the consequences.

Unless it's something wholly egregious you can leave any pack or troop and join another at-will.
I know a fella that got busted falsifying his achievements in an effort to get his Eagle Scout, he got kicked out of my troop and joined another one because they were willing to give him a chance, then got himself kicked out of that one too.
Outside of really serious issues that have to go up to District or Council, the troops and packs are fairly autonomous.

It's a sad day in America when the Boy Scouts trashes the Constitution.
But what lesson are we trying to teach kids

Maybe. But in the meantime, he likes my boots.
That reminds me, I got you a nice pair for hot days.
I was thinking of something a little more masculine.
