In the wake of reports about alleged sexual abuse within the organization, the Boy Scouts of America emails a newsletter to parents entirely focused on 'Youth Protection.'
In the wake of reports about alleged sexual abuse within the storied organization, the Boy Scouts of America emailed a newsletter to parents Wednesday night entirely focused on"Youth Protection."
Since that number was publicized during a Tuesday news conference held by a lawyer representing victims, Boy Scouts officials have been pointing to safeguards the organization has in place to protect children from predators -- and this newsletter is the latest example of that outreach. The letter goes on to describe the creation of the Boy Scout's volunteer database, which was created"long before there were smart phones, email, fax machines, the internet, criminal databases or other modern methods available to identify or track predators."
"I want to be clear – the Boy Scouts of America has never knowingly allowed those who have committed inappropriate acts with children to remain in our program," Sarbaugh wrote.
