This has been a long time coming; all the accommodation to the liberal left have been desperation moves by the professionals to keep the corporate money coming in. The BSA has always been two organizations at once - the traditional outdoor, leadership skills, and Americanism part for boys has been provided and taught by the volunteers, while the professionals focus on fundraising. Fundraising is important to fund camps and facilities, but much of it was focused on salaries and benefits for the professionals - to a great extent their job is to use the BSA name to raise money to pay themselves each year. The left simply took advantage of the need for lots of money and corrupted the corruptible.
