Please ask to speak directly with Steve Charboneau. The Scout Executive will ensure that all state reporting requirements have been met and will also take measures to protect the youth in the Scouting movement.If an immediate report is to be made due to extreme urgency, you should contact your local County Children and Youth Services Agency. The Council Scout Executive must be contacted as soon as possible afterwards as explained above.
