Confidential files kept by the Boy Scouts of America on men they suspected of child sex abuse are set to be released after a two-year-long court battle. The anticipated release of the files on Thursday by Portland attorney Kelly Clark will reveal 20,000 pages of documents the Scouts kept on men inside — and in some cases outside — the organization believed to have committed acts of abuse. The court-ordered release of the so-called perversion files from 1965 to 1985 has prompted the organization to pledge that they will go back into the files and report any offenders who may have not been reported to the police when alleged abuse took place.

My Take – Amazing! They kept track of this kind of thing for years in order to protect the children, which is what I would expect, and it is what most would expect, unless your values are different. The BSA was actually sued for having “policies which prohibit atheists, agnostics and "open or avowed" homosexual people from membership in its Scouting program as directly violating its fundamental principles and tenets. BSA has denied or revoked membership status or leadership positions for violation of these foundational principles. The BSA contends that these policies are essential in its mission to instill in young people the values of the Scout Oath and Law.” “BSA has denied or revoked membership status or leadership positions for violation of these foundational principles”, and the press and the leftist railed against them. We have a president and a presidential aspirant that has publically stated that they “oppose the ban on gay scouts.” Cities have even prevented them from using public facilities for their activities because of the stand on homosexuality. And now they are in it. From 1971 to 1991 they didn’t do their job! Why?
