Study: More than 100 cases of abuse among Boy Scouts. Researchers assume there is a large number of unreported cases.
Just as many girls as boys in the Boy Scouts were affected. The perpetrators are almost exclusively male. The “riskiest places,” according to the study, were Boy Scout camps, trips and tribal meetings. There were attacks ‘in the context of games and rituals,’ but also in private situations; when children and young people were driven home.
