Scouts Canada Issues Apology

Scouts Canada apologized on Thursday to former scouts who were molested by volunteer leaders.

They have recently hired the consulting firm KPMG to investigate records of leaders who were accused of sexual abuse.

The investigation should be finished by early January followed by a public announcement of what has been uncovered.

Scouts Canada is now making a greater effort to check if any of the volunteers possess criminal records.

They have also promised to strengthen their child protection policies.
