What is even happening?
I can't find any news or info on the salvation army case anywhere, but it could be based on the right to expressive association.
I was just coming to mention the same thing, without the expressive-stuff-I-don't-know-about. I've never seen that other website before, so I was looking for some confirmation.

I don't know First Amendment all that well, so there's only so well I can parse this. My impression is that no, your organization does not use its membership "expressively", whereas the Scouts do.
