Scouts Canada: Steve Kent

Ancient History Dept: Not all of those are ancient history, according to Winnipeg Free Press. "I guess the most troubling part of the report is there are times where our processes and procedures and our policies and our people failed," Steve Kent, the chief commissioner of Scouts Canada, said. "We failed to follow our own policies and procedures." OTTAWA -- An independent review of six decades of Scouts Canada records revealed the organization failed at least 65 times to report allegations of sexual misconduct to authorities. Thirteen of the 65 incidents came to the Scouts' attention since 1992, when it became mandatory to report everything suspicious to police, said the report by investigators at KPMG. The review was released on Monday. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
