According to many links that came up on a Google search, it was due to an age requirement for volunteers being 18 yrs or older, although other opportunities were offered to the scouts.

I can neither confirm nor deny these details, I have no connection to the USOC, LDS, or the Boy Scouts of America.

If thats the case, then I understand the policy - I don’t accept it- but I understand it. However, this demonstrates that Romney’s entire character is in question when facts are in dispute - Romney is so well known as a waffler that the real story of Scouts being underage to work the Olympics could be true, but he’s not credible.

Do some more searching. The lame excuse about “age” is a lie. The Boy Scouts were very involved in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
