That's a pretty specific number, yendu. Where'd you get it from?

I've seen (honestly) a number between 100 and 200 reported in several articles. I haven't saved them, though I do have the following from Leslie Carbone's article (6/19/2002) on National Review Online, which, in reference to past abuse, states: "a nationalwide investigation of child molestation in the Boy Scouts found that more than 2,000 boys had reported molestation by adult Scout leaders who slipped by the ban during 1971 to 1991 [or about 200 per year, on average]. Lifting the ban on homosexual scoutmasters would surely only increase this number." As you know, I agree with her.
