The Boy Scouts of America doesn’t want the liability of some pedophile getting into a position where he can prey on Scouts. When I went to camp with my son, they told me I could not be the only adult in camp if there were kids present, there had to be two adults at all times. That’s how concerned they are.
it was that way when I was a scout in the 60’-70’s two or more fathers at all time in camp or hiking
