I think it was a very accurate portrayal, at least from what I've heard from people who are in Boy Scouts, and it was interesting to show this perspective. There are a lot of community hallmarks that have caused queer people throughout the years many difficulties and suffering, including religion which also played a big part in the story, but Boy Scouts isn't one you see portrayed frequently.
