Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts have exceptionally different sets of values, at least these days, to be fair. Among other things, the Girl Scouts won't boot the kid out if he discovers he's gay in a few years, and the Boy Scouts leave that as more of an open question. But yeah, this individual group seems, at a minimum, to be making an attempt.
I agree that the advice is fine, but I'll add if there are similar groups available where LW is, then transferring the kid to one of them now, while he's young enough that the lasting connections aren't formed yet, that could be a good choice.
