What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
I have been volunteering as a den leader of a group of cub scouts for several months, and have only recently found out that the cub scout pack administrators never submitted my application as an adult leader (including the criminal/sex offender/background checks) to the regional scouting office, as they should have. I have requested at least twice that this application be submitted, but it never has. As far as our regional scout office is concerned, I am not even in their database. Without the proper documentation on file with the Boy Scouts of America, I am wondering and potentially concerned about my personal liability if an allegation of abuse, neglect, etc. should arise as a result of activities associated with this cub scout den. Should I be concerned? What should be my next move?
