Fairly SOP in the state. DEPENDING on circumstances. Last thing the CLEO of (insert town/city) wants is bad press and possible bod[ies] if they fail to act.
Well now you can see why the Boy Scouts have become SJW converged ... its leftist parents like those of Comrade Crumb Cruncher here as much as its some sort of outside cabal of Soros funded leftists.
So ... misleading headline (I'm shocked, shocked by this this) ... reading further into their article, the chartering organization decided the little dear -- or perhaps his parents -- decided he didn't fit in with their unit. Perhaps they didn't like little kids being used as political pawns by regressive Stalinist parents but my guess is that there's more to it than this one interview and questions. I don't know of any Scouting unit that takes membership cancellation lightly.
At the Council level, Denver Area Council is trying to help him find another unit and at the National level, they're too busy chasing politically correct memes and fundraisers to care about a local area issue unless it impacts their fundraising. The way he posed the questions sets of huge freaking red flags in my eyes but I'm no longer involved so wouldn't ever have to deal with his application.
