Formal name is Youth Protection, but yes, 2 deep leadership.
No Scout, unless they are directly related by blood to the adult, is to be alone with an adult, out of sight of others, at any time, especially in tents.
These are BSA rules and any legitimate Troop organization will enforce this at all times.
This is done for 2 reasons...
1. Protect the Scout from a predator or other abuse.
2. Protect the Adult from a false accusation of abuse.
There is absolutely no reason for a non-related adult to be alone with a Scout, out of sight, in private.
When backpacking with the Scouts, I’m normally the “sweep” or tail-end Charlie, the younger guys just run circles around me.
The chances of being “alone” with a Scout on the trail in that position, are pretty high, but I ALWAYS insist on staying on the trail, out in the open at ALL times.
The church I usher at has that same rule as well. In my position as part time instructor at the University, even with adult females, I apply this rule to myself where I either meet with them in an open area or go to email. And I have to say, I have had many very good looking girls in my classes.
