Boy Scouts: Yet Another Christian Caught With Pornography |
From NBC News, 3/29/05:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7326932/
Boy Scout director charged with having child porn
Organization 'dismayed and shocked ' by news
NBC News
DALLAS, Texas -
The national director of programs for the Boy Scouts of America has
been charged with receiving and distributing child pornography, the
U.S. Attorney's office here told NBC News on Tuesday.
Douglas S. Smith Jr. was charged with one felony count of having
photos that show "minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct."
Sources in the U.S. Attorney's office told NBC that Smith was expected
to plead guilty.
The images were of young boys and the investigation started in
Germany, the sources added.
In a statement Tuesday, the Boy Scouts of America said it had no
indication of prior criminal activity.
"We are dismayed and shocked to learn of the charge," it said.
"Smith was employed by the organization for 39 years, with no
indication of prior criminal activity. He was not in a leadership
position which involved working directly with youth."
The statement said Smith was placed on paid administrative leave
immediately after the organization learned that he was being
investigated for a crime, and that Smith decided to retire shortly
thereafter.
Smith, 61, would not comment when reached by phone at his home.
He was expected to appear in federal court Wednesday morning.
If tried and found guilty, he faces prison time ranging from five to
20 years.

Yep; has was also chairman of the BSA's Youth Protection Taskforce:
http://www.bsawac.org/Training/Youth%20Protection%20On%20Line.htm
November 22, 2002
Dear Scout Executive:
The Boy Scouts of America is a leader in the field of youth protection.
On February 1, 2003, we will again be expanding our offering of programs
designed to protect youth.
A youth protection training course, "Youth Protection Guidelines for
Adult Leaders and Parents," will be available on the Internet for
volunteers, parents, and other individuals within your council area.
This course will make youth protection training and resources easily
accessible to all leaders. The new Tour Permit Policy, which requires
at least one youth protection-trained leader for any activity requiring
a tour permit, is effective January 1, 2003. This new online training
course will help ensure that now activities will need to be cancelled
because no youth protection-trained leader is available. Effective
February 1, 2003, a leader may take either the online course or the
regular youth protection course that your council has been offering.
You may also share this training link through your council's Web site
with individuals from schools, churches, or other youth-serving
organizations in your council area. After a participant completes the
online training, the participant's name will be sent to PAS and
matched. If the participant is a registered adult member, the following
will be sent back quickly:
1. A certificate of completion
2. A letter from you, the Scout Executive of their council.
3. An explanation of your council's youth protection reporting
procedures.
4. A course information handout.
Participants who are not registered adult members will receive all of
the above except the certificate of completion.
Participants who do not have a computer at home can go to a local
library and take the course online.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. This is a groundbreaking
initiative for youth protection and the Boy Scouts of America. We are
confident your council will find the Youth Protection Training Web site
helpful in providing the most wholesome possible environment for young
people.
Sincerely,
Douglas S. Smith Jr
Chairman, Youth Protection Task Force
National Director of Program

Just so long as he isn't homosexual and/or an atheist, then he is
welcome to be in the Scouts.
