Yes, many local councils will be completely Mormon-free. However, from Happy Monkey's link:
Quote:
The Latter-day Saints constitute less than 2% of the U.S. population but 21% of the boys in the core Boy Scouts program, more than any other group...
The Latter-day Saints have been instrumental in helping defeat pro-gay initiatives in at least three states...
Today nearly 10% of the members of the Boy Scouts Advisory Council live in Salt Lake City, Utah...

Mormons have sway in the policies of National Council, and the National Council can overturn local council decisions, as they did in this recent Philly case:
Quote:

The [local] council adopted a nondiscrimination policy in 2003 but was ordered to revoke it by the National Council, which said local chapters cannot deviate from national rules barring participation by anyone who is openly gay.
