Never had any sexual encounters in Boy Scouts. I did learn how to roll a joint, how to make home-made fireworks, and how to make an emergency hashpipe out of a soda can using only my scout knife, though. Let no-one say you can't learn useful, real-world skills there.

You see more abuse cases in scoutmasters, teachers and doctors, but it's always priests that are stereotyped as pedos.

No more than scoutmasters, I think. It's interesting to me as well that policemen, surely authority figures on a par with these others, are so seldom implicated.

It's not just authority, but opportunity, I guess. A priest or scout-leader is more likely to be in regular contact with children (scouts or choristers), making them more attractive jobs for would-be groomers/abusers than the police force.

An "emergency" hashpipe? Nice going! A scout is always prepared.
