I was worried that the poor boy had been accosted by the scout leader ( what a crazy world that I would even think that) I am so thankful he is allright. I have a 12 yr. old grandson and can't help but think how scared he would be.

Thank You Lord

That is what the main stream press wants you to believe.

I had the same fear. And that raises a very important issue which will no-doubt become more vocalized now that he is safe (Thank and Praise God!). Boy Scouts of America rules prohibit ever allowing an adult leader to be alone with a scout. It is one of the most fundamental rules of scouting. It's called "2-deep Leadership" and it protects the child as well as the adult. It demands that there always be 2 adults minimum present with a child. In reality, it legally protects the BSA more than anything else. But in cases such as this one, it would have made it less likely that the child could have wandered off un-noticed, and it would have largely prevented suspicions such as the ones you and I had. I suspect that law-suits will come out of this that could have been avoided if 2-deep leadership had been complied with.

You are more than a bit over the top with that comment. The BSA is very careful about adult leaders. I know, I am one.

my husband worried about that same thing....that the adult leader had done something to him....

this is the world we live in.....never trust, I guess....
