However, the offline portion of MIS is offline. The online portion is fairly well secure. I don't trust my local scoutmaster or (sorry) the OSS community to make that assertion. PHP is about as secure as IE on a bad day...
The distinction here is that MIS does not have personal information about likes, hobbies, awards, projects, etc. An online scouting tracking program would have more similarities with "myspace.com" than with the MIS. That's a huge distinction. In order to begin to think about an online database/app, you would be required to allow parents to "opt out". As soon as one parent opted out, the online database would be more work for the Scoutmaster than it would be worth and they'd stop using it.
