The organization was forced to release a so-called perversion list which detailed more than 14,000 pages worth of child sex abuse incidents, most of which were never reportered to authorities. The massive document was released online and there are sadly incidents detailed in the Albany area.

Now a number of straight men who’ve received the group’s highest honor — the ranking of Eagle Scout — are returning their medals in protest.
