Why I'm rethinking Boy Scouts for my son

[html]An 11-year-old Boy Scout, Manuel 'Manny' Carvalho, was killed by a gunshot on August 28, at Camp Honokaia -- where my son's troop used to meet every week. A police investigation determined that during an official Boy Scouts of America (BSA) event at a scout camp rifle range, the boy was accidentally killed after he was shot by another unsupervised boy who was handling his parent's loaded semi-automatic assault rifle. No charges have yet been filed related to the incident, though potential offenses against three adults are being reviewed by prosecutors.[/html]
