There is no policy as such that I am aware of concerning this aspect to
"2-deep" leadership. This might make some sense IF there is ever a charge of
abuse being made about a leader, the argument could follow the lines of
"they were in it together to hurt my little Sammy". But this basic argument
could be tried concerning any 2 leaders, related or otherwise. The policies
of 2-deep leadership and the policies of Youth Protection are two seperate
and completely different requirements that make up part of how we interact
with the boys.
Also, you do have to remember that the 2-deep leadership requirement is
in place to make sure that there is an active program for the boys, ie. If
the DL gets the flu and cannot attend the den meeting s/he has an ADL in
place and qualified to take over and run the program. It is only as an aside
that it 'helps' put in place a minimum of 3 individuals (YP) during the
course of most meetings, especially at the very beginning and end when it
always seems to be one boy who is there alone with the leaders. While the
policies of YP are in force to help protect everyone from the charge of
abuse of any kind. YP only requires that no Scout and adult leader be alone
together, there must be a third party present who may be another adult or
another Scout (the infamous Buddy System that the guys like to squeeze out
of whenever given half a chance;-).
As I said, there is no policy that I know of, but I hope this helps
clear up this part of the program for your student who asked the original
question.
