But Hawaii was different; it exposed that the NCAP process isn't as good as they thought. This doesn't touch national directly so would they get involved? I see this as compartmentalized to the council level at the highest, probably going to be pushed down to the unit level. Also looks like the details are developing. It appears that the leader being sued is being sued because the parents viewed him stepping out as a catalyst for control of the scouts to leave even though they admit there were at least 2 other adult leaders in the room at the time. The parents are also admitting that many other adults were in the room but somehow no one saw what happened actually take place. I know someone saw somewhere that the council was the CO but I can't find that; I did see in these articles that the pack meeting was taking place at the council headquarters. I think either way the council is going to be exposed to risk because the altercation took place on their property and wasn't reported in a timely manner. https://www.wtol.com/article/news/local/family-speaks-out-lawsuit-against-scouting-america-cub-scouts-leader-alleged-attack-on-son/512-9aff2dfd-6234-4126-a5c0-20c91ef3dd1c https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/boy-5-left-hospitalized-after-brutal-beating-at-boy-scouts-meeting-lawsuit-says/ar-AA1XR6Lm?apiversion=v2&domshim=1&noservercache=1&noservertelemetry=1&batchservertelemetry=1&renderwebcomponents=1&wcseo=1 This is also going to cause Erie Shores to take a big hit on their Quality Council incident reporting scoring. -
Just curious if any troops are easing up on phone usage policies during meetings/outings in light of the new digital-only merit badge pamphlet announcement. One of our local summer camps is extremely restrictive when it comes to phones in camp, even for adults. I wonder if now they'll have to ease off that a bit and at least allow MBCs to have a device so they can reference merit badge materials. Anyone altering their troop policies? -
That's the more likely scenario. Look what happened with the Hawai'i scout shooting incident. There is no way National wants to risk any kind of public court case where all these highly touted safety policies are shown to be mostly words that are not backed by functional processes. -
No it will all be huss huss we must keep the good name of Scouting pay the settlement ban the leadership. All under a non disclosure agreement like all B S settlements. Only public record if criminal charges -
