Basementdweller 608 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 So reading the thread I spun from...... what will the SE do if this was reported????? Link to post Share on other sites
Oak Tree 15 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I'd be curious to find out what he would do in this case, but here is my guess as to what he might do. He could send a DE and/or District Commissioner over to the CO, to meet with the IH and/or COR, and tell them that there had been reports of youth protection violations by the unit. They would like the CO to investigate whether or not these violations have really taken place, and identify steps to correct any incorrect interpretations of the rules, and to insure that the leaders were abiding by them. He might suggest that if the leader will not reform, then the CO should consider replacing him. Link to post Share on other sites
BS-87 30 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Contact the leader in violation directly. Make the whole of the Troop Leadership retake Youth Protection Training. Check in periodically to make sure policies are being followed. Remove those leaders resistant to policies after retraining. Link to post Share on other sites
Tokala 16 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 We had a unit that had some issues with the adult leaders and following youth protection. The Ditrict Key 3 met with the unit at first to explain the corrective actions. The unit continued making the same poor decisions. The District Key 3 then met with the chartering organization and they did not renew the charter. Link to post Share on other sites
BadenP 93 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 All these examples just prove how screwed up the system truly is. In Tokala's example the unit is terminated and it is the boys who suffer, most if not all of them and their parents will be so disgusted with the BSA they will take their boys out for good. IMO the SE should require the CO to remove the guilty leader immediately. If the charges are serious enough then then SE terminates that leaders membership in the BSA permanently and informs the CO of his action. I agree with retraining all the other leaders in a more intense in person youth protection training than what is currently available on line. Link to post Share on other sites
Bobwhite89 10 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 BS-87 is dead on. The SE would personally handle the situation in this case in all but the largest of councils. In those large ones, the DFS would handle it. Depending on the council, they may elect to involve a Council or District Commissioner, depending on the people and their strengths.
