The Alabama Boy Scouts & Abuse in Alabama

     The L.A. Times has gone to a considerable effort to make the 5,000 Boy Scout/abuse files manageable.
     Here is a link to their map and data base.
     I can tell you that there were at least 42 incidents recorded in Alabama between 1961 and 2004...though some records were destroyed by the scouts prior to the 1990's.

Six incidents were reported in Montgomery, none with a name attached.
There are cases in all of the large cities in the state, including Birmingham, Mobile and Huntsville, and in smaller places, like Tuscaloosa, Selma, Pleasant Grove, and Marbury.

Most of the Alabama cases include no names, only record keeping numbers, with a single number for each suspect. Here is the list for Montgomery:

 

Year	Name or ID	City	ScoutUnit
1998	262	Montgomery	Ala.	103
1994	2621	Montgomery	Ala.	222
1993	2620	Montgomery	Ala.	120
1961	2283	Montgomery	Ala.	210
1989	144	Montgomery	Ala.

1989    1095                  Montgomery Ala                     60

[UPDATE: An official with the Boy Scouts in Alabama has written a response, a defense of sorts, of Boy Scout policy regarding abuse. You can read it here.]
