greenSM 10 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Update: BSA now expects the SCOUT to prove he was not involved with the police. Why is the burden of proof for a false BSA allegation resting on a 16 y.o. Scout? "If he knows that it is a rumor why is he paying attention to it?" Everyone should be concerned when Boy Scouts are being thrown out of Scouts because of unfounded and malicious rumors. They should be even more concerned when said rumors appear to start within and then are promoted by the BSA itself. Link to post Share on other sites
Lynda J 10 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 One question, Was this boy removed from school by the police? If not then it should be easy enough to prove. If so then the scout and the parents know the reason and may simply not be being honest with themselves and others. But the school and police should have a record of it if he was removed.

greenSM 10 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 The Council and Region should be providing the "facts" they have used in their decision. The burden of proof is on the accuser. Link to post Share on other sites
