Boy Scouts doesn’t owe anyone due process.
If your neighbor was arrested for child molestation, would you let your kid still play over at his house, even if he hadn’t been convicted yet?
Neither would I.
Were he cleared of all charges and I found the case believable, I would.

Actually, they do.

No, I would give the neighbor an “administrative suspension” pending the outcome of his/her trial. During that time my kids would not be permitted over to his/her place.
I would not “bar them for life” on the mere basis of an arrest. Cops can and do get it wrong, and it happens frequently.
And people can and do get railroaded thru false accusations. Happens all the time. The Peter Ellis case is one famous example.
