I won’t try to convince you otherwise but I had to make this decision. I decided that the only way I was comfortable was by joining the pack leadership. BSA has had problems and will again not because of the organization but because the people looking for targets will go where the pray is.
The organization trains every pack leader and each year there are courses that are required for both kids and parents to help educate, and protect kids.
If my pack has a pedophile they hide it amazingly well. We enforce the buddy system for both adults and kids. The only time a kid is able to be alone with an adult is in their own tent and when they are a family unit.
But if my kids going to a meeting so am I or another family member I can trust. Hopefully vigilance am me education will be enough.
