, \merixas lost Truste Institution a P t ri c k Boy I 1 55958 365-7 - - No criminal in American society is more despised than the man who has sex with children. I his is his story. He offends us, but it’s time to listen. Hardly a week goes by without news of yet another respected adult—Scoutmaster, teacher, priest, or pop singer— accused of child molesting, Into this uproar steps Scout's Honor, which systematically examines the' history of sexual abuse in America’s most revered youth group and tells us what we should know about men whose desires seem too bizarre to understand. Through a computer analysis of nearly 2000 previously secret fdes on child-abusing Scout leaders; through interviews with molesters, victims, investigators, and top Scout officials; and by - digging through court records and 80-year-old Scout documents, author Patrick Boyle traces sexual abuse from Scouting’s roots to today’s headlines.
