I'll apologize up front for taking this completely off topic, but is it not by church policy that, with church sponsored BSA troops, the scoutmaster may no longer be a nonmember? It's my understanding, and I believe I read it in the Scouting section of the CHI, that the scoutmaster must at least be an assistant adviser to the Deacon's quorum (and thus a priesthood holder).

I would suggest that you discuss this with your local PHD leaders. Since you're asking a policy question, it's something that's best addressed at the local level.
