A Scouter pervert in the news

[Woapalanne]

I suggest that you show the video every year. To those Scouts who joined in the preceding year. No need to overly repeat, but no one should be left out.

American parents are strange beasts indeed.

 

We (the BSA via Scouters and the program in general) teach their sons about good nutrition - that is not over stepping their parental responsibilities. We teach their sons about the importance of physical fitness - that is not over stepping their parental responsibilities. We teach their sons basic first aid training - that is not over stepping their parental responsibilities. We teach their sons about the importance of physical fitness - that is not over stepping their parental responsibilities. We teach their sons about how to camp out in the great outdoors - that is not over stepping their parental responsibilities. We teach their sons about basic hygiene - that is not over stepping their parental responsibilities. We teach their sons about knots, citizenship and a myriad of merit badge topics - that is not over stepping their parental responsibilities. We teach their sons about mental health and reverence- uh oh, parents are quiet but some are getting a little bit queasy. We teach their sons about youth protection - and boom parents put their foot down. How did youth protection somehow get warped into the idea that we are providing "sex education" to our youth?

I'd rather call him a police officer who just happend to be a Boy Scout leader.

 

Nah, doesn't make any difference in the severity of his crimes , nor does it make it easier on the victems.

 

But lets don't act like he was a professional, paid 24/7 scouter who just happend to work 3 or 4 hours a week as a police officer.

 

The way it is written makes it sound like that EVERY sigle adult leader from Cubs all trhe way to Venturer knew about and condoned it. Like we all sit back and give each other "good ole boy" smiles when one gets caught.

 

 

He's a sick person. Who also got involved with scouting before he got caught. Caught being key as it enforces that his actions were not condoned or smiled upon by BSA, any other leader or the public.

 

He easily could have been a band director, Movie Director, museum director, teacher, lawyer, judge, or just about any other career person, who gets his by molesting boys.

 

But that just doesn't sound as juicy does it?
