Boy scouts lose lease

This really surprised me,I didn't realize that the Boy scouts were so discriminatory in the States,I have no idea what the policy is in Canada but it would be interesting to find out.I know that the Girl Guides of Canada prohibits any discrimination including that based on sexual orientation but I am not familiar with the policy in other countries at all ,I wonder if it isn't even illegal in some countries where the girl guides are to be gay. This article has really got me thinking and I hope to do some research on this topic soon.
