Doing a search on their site shows his name in a "preview" link

A scout, and a leader--but no more.

Frankly, if he WAS a Scout, I think it's pretty shitty for them to REMOVE his name. They have their rule about "no gays being leaders" which they can lean on to remove him as a leader, but taking his name off the list is an effort by them to pretend he never was a member of the group in his distant youth. That's just wrong, IMO.
