The boy scouts still ban openly gay adults to join the scouts.
No, the boy scouts history has no connection with anything in the LGBT community.
Being in scouts is a fab idea. Since the purpose of the Boy Scouts has nothing to do with sex, it should not matter if a scout is gay.
Leaders cannot be openly Gay. The status of gay scouts is less settled but there is a chance that an openly gay scout may be asked to leave.
The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) first allowed openly gay youth to become members in 2014. This decision came after years of controversy and legal battles surrounding the organization's stance on LGBTQ+ inclusion.
The Boy Scouts of America do not allow adult leaders who are gay. Likewise there is no logical reason to ask a minor if they are gay; they would have to provide that information of their own free will. You are in separate sleeping bags and you could always bring your own tent to sleep in.
The Boy Scouts of America historically believe that homosexuality is against the Scout oath and thus prevents gay individuals becoming members. Also there is the chance of pedophilia with gay male leaders and young scout members.

Talk to someone and tell them that they are ugly. If it is a girl say you are lesbian and if a boy say you are gay.
In terms of the conflict of homosexual participants, any gay boy may participate up until his eighteenth birthday. Gay leaders are still banned.
The only way to know is for him to tell you.
If he's a boy, remind him you're not gay. If it's a girl, I shouldn't need to tell you what to do.
