Except that scout master is not a calling in the same way as other callings. Bring called of the Lord to join another organization doesn’t remove you from the state laws or internal rules of that org. Scouting is not a church and participation is not protected by those laws. If the Lord called me to be a Lawyer, I would do it. But religious protections wouldn’t have my need to pass the BAR or require another law firm to hire me!

Freedom of religion is a right. So is life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Just because someone proposes legislation and it passes doesn’t make it Constitutional. Nor does a ruling from the bench make it so. Once Heavenly Father calls someone it is freedom of religion.
