The man, James Dale, took his case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court (the court ruled against him 5-4). BSA membership peaked at 5 million in 1972; and for decades, the group’s policies were stuck in time.
Girls were prohibited from joining until 2017, along with transgender boys. But now, there are more than 176,000 young girls and women in the Scouts.
