"The Scout movement has also faced allegations of child sexual abuse in other countries.<p>Earlier this, month, the Boy Scouts of America said it had reached an $850m agreement with attorneys representing about 60,000 victims of child sexual abuse."<p>Assuming 5 victims per criminal, that would suggest that at least 12,000 US scout leaders should have been convicted.
I was in Boy Scouts in the early to mid-80s. I didn’t see anything like these types of activities.<p>But just because I didn’t see it, doesn’t mean it wasn’t there.<p>I am surprised here at the scale of the problem, but not that this kind of thing happened as a whole.
