The Boy Scouts of America are a private, not-for-profit organization. This was never an issue in Boy Scouts of America et al. v. Dale. The issue was whether a private organization like the BSA had to comply with public accommodations law.
The Supreme Court held that that as a private organization with an "expressive message", the BSA had the right to the freedom of association, which allows a private organization to exclude a person from membership when "the presence of that person affects in a significant way the group's ability to advocate public or private viewpoints."

Both organizations earn badges and other awards, however, the awards and the requirements are different. The uniforms are different as determined by the national organization. The way the troops themselves are organized is different.
