My non attorney guess is that the defendent is the issue of one of the leaders. They all share the last same initial. Could be a coincidence, but it's not unusual to hear stories about leaders' kids who never seem to be at fault or or made to deal with any real consequences. -
So if that is true, it is a known repeating abuse. There should already be a police report for the first event involving a scout. All leadership are required reporters. Looks like multiple failures to protect and follow state law. Reporting to the Scout office is required under BS youth protection. So, the council may already be aware of the problem from prior events. And they took no action. May non-attorney guess it will be settled for at least 7+ figures or more. Should be a child protective service investigation against all parties involved with charges as needed. -
With my long beard (not reaally, it will not grow long), I have the imagined perspective of a seasoned adult. And that is the point. How many of the issues we see posted here would simply solve themselves if we, you know, "act" like adults? Hmmmm! -

What I describe has been going on in my area for over 25 years. This is nothing new here. But it definitely shocked me when I first got here. -
The (fairly) recent revision of the Cub program was meant to facilitate this kind of den/pack structure/meeting scheme. With the dearth of adult volunteers, it allows one leader to oversee multiple dens and/or ranks and all meet at the same time. The achievements were also better coordinated among the ranks so that it's easier to have multiple ranks work on similar achievements.
