The pack has problems if they are not enforcing the scout rules. THIS is exactly the thing that these rules were made to prevent.

But would it have been any different if the individuals had just come home from a camping trip, and the parents car had broken down, the leader then gave the boy a ride home, and then on the way, did something? Or how about if another parent drove the boy home instead?

I have a very trusting relationship with anyone I give custody of my children to, even briefly for activities. yeah, we will always have aholes in this world who will violate our trust..

Those policies are in place to proect the Boy Scouts from any lawsuits and to protect them from any accusations, but clearly anytime an adult interacts with children something "can" occur and its not limited to scouts.

My sons wrestling coach is routenly in the locker room with the wrestlers when they are changing, and you cant change this because thats when/where they get weighed in (while only wearing boxers).. Should we now allow parents access to the locker rooms to protect the coach? How about cameras? Clearly at some point trust must come into play and aholes, will find a way to violate it regardless..
