      SCOTUS just ruled on this...  Mirabella v Bonta https://www.aalrr.com/newsroom-alerts-4207 That is now prohibited in government, as it violates parents' rights.

      Just a point of emphasis: The schools are keeping the trans identity a secret, not teachers. Teachers are often legally restricted from disclosing gender identity or sexual orientation when a student confides in them but is withholding that information from their own parents. It varies by state but this is common practice. Board of Ed, lawyers, admins, they're the ones making the decision not to disclose.  Some teachers want to talk to the parents about it but they are not allowed to.

      I never understood schools or anyone hiding something this significant from parents.  If the parents are abusive, then department of family services, police, courts can play their role.  It isn't up to the school to decide this. I enjoyed talking with parents and sometimes surprising them with what I saw from their kid (a quiet kid became an active leader, a troubled youth giving good advice to a younger scout, etc).  It was one of the joys of the job to surprise parents by sharing what was going on, sometimes some tough conversations, .... I can't imagine hiding something from them.

      About 1.2 -3% of youth are trans, so let's go with 1.2% and assume the rate is half of that in BSA ... So 650,000 youth * 0.6% = 3,900 trans youth.  I would up guess many trans avoid scouts.  Gay youth are 7-9%, assuming that number holds you probably have 50,000 gay youth in BSA.
