That's the more likely scenario. Look what happened with the Hawai'i scout shooting incident. There is no way National wants to risk any kind of public court case where all these highly touted safety policies are shown to be mostly words that are not backed by functional processes.
No it will all be huss huss we must keep the good name of Scouting pay the settlement ban the leadership. All under a non disclosure agreement like all B S settlements.
Only public record if criminal charges
That will be a whole different can of worms then won't it? Everyone will get hit with negligence, including the parents of the victim.
We have packs that have been doing this as well. I am just saying that the new program is designed around facilitating this and it's now part of the program literature.
If this is the case council and national are going to hang that leader out to dry SO hard. Again every council is probably watching this.
