Texas Boy Scoutmaster Arrested On Allegation Of Indecency With A Child

Sixty-year-old Brett Hall was a scoutmaster 2006-2013 with Tarrant County Troops 205 and 214, the Tarrant County Sheriff\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Office said.

Officials said the allegation doesn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t involve a child in Boy Scouts, but the nature and case facts \u00e2\u0080\u009cgive concern for additional victims.\u00e2\u0080\u009d

The Boy Scouts of America has since released the following statement:

\u00e2\u0080\u009cWe are shocked and disgusted at this described behavior, which is reprehensible and runs counter to everything for which the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) stands.

While this incident is unrelated to Scouting and Mr. Hall has not been registered as a BSA volunteer for several years, upon learning of these reports we took immediate action to prohibit him from any future participation in our programs.\"
