A good organization under attack by the enemy.

Well if they keep perverts away - they get sued.
If perverts molest children - they get sued.

This guy needs a few Boy Scout or Navy knots in a rope thrown over a tree branch.

A good organization under attack by the enemy.

A "good" organization would have alerted the authorities and allow the claims of abuse to be investigated. It's unclear but as far as I can tell they kept tabs on suspected abusers instead of revealing them to the police.

These files are decades old. In those days this stuff was always hidden and handled internally.

There are some outright lies in this explanation. It says that the BSA doesn’t have a policy for this. They do - and have had since around 1985.

Please see:

It would more correct to say that BSA didn’t have a policy THEN. We do NOW! This is one of my worst fears as a scout master! It is something I’m VERY concerned about. My troop follows the Youth Protection requirements “religiously!”
