That is horrible. Clearly, the youth protection rules were NOT being followed, or the Scoutmaster would have had no opportunity to abuse those kids. I hope the court throws the book at him, and pray that those children find the peace in their souls they deserve.
My son’s scout experience was unfortunately disrupted by a similar case. A scout master was quietly sexually abusing a number of kids. It took a while, their case was finally brought to court last year.
I’m glad that my son got to experience a number of Summer Camps, he was a member of many clubs such as the wetlands and spent many weekends camping in the wilderness, outward bound holidays and he is a King’s Scout today, inactive. Sadly, he lost his passion to serve.

Let's hope so. All three of my now adult children participated in Scouts and sports. Invaluable experiences.
