New evidence of Scouts Canada's past failure to report pedophiles to police
KEY DOCUMENTS
Sep. 27, 1977: Advances of a leader to a scout are reported (PDF 165KB) Oct. 6, 1977: Handwriting analysis of John Brown is requested (PDF 803KB) Feb. 17, 1978: Scout leaders are put on a flagged list (PDF 620KB) Since that explosive report was aired, Scouts Canada has publicly apologized to the young boys who were victimized by members of the organization over many decades — and declared that, to the best of their knowledge, allegations of abuse were always handed over to the police. Diana Swain brings us "The Lost Boys," which casts fresh doubt on Scouts Canada's claims about how it has dealt with those accused of preying on young boy scouts. And, a new twist in this tragic story produces a startling development on cases not previously reported to police — and a possible path forward.
