The CBC and various newspapers have articles on abuse of children by volunteers involved with Scouts Canada. CBC notes “A review of how Scouts Canada handled allegations of sexual abuse by its group leaders has found that dozens of cases reported to the organization were not passed on to the police. Despite past assurances by Scouts Canada that it had informed police about “every record of abuse” within its ranks, the audit has found at least 65 instances where that did not happen.”
