The New Scout Law: "A Scout Is Quiet, Very, Very Quiet"

Matt Stewart blames the Boy Scouts of America for his lost childhood.

"The first time I was molested was at the age of either six or seven," Stewart told CBS News Correspondent Sandra Hughes. "I was molested all the way up until I was 18 years old."

Stewart and his brother Tom were sexually abused by their assistant Scout master.

"The nightmares are still very real, even 25 to 30 years later," Matt said.

Former troop leader Bruce Phelps admitted under oath to having sexual contact with one and then the other.

As part of a lawsuit against Phelps and the Boy Scouts of America, the Stewarts' attorney, Tim Kosnoff, got an unprecedented look inside thousands of secret files through 2005. . . .

Kosnoff analyzed the numbers and came to this shocking conclusion: Before 1991, "a Scout leader was being tossed out for child molestation at the rate of one every three days," he said. "Post-1991, the rate was one every two days." That includes people suspected of abuse.

The Boy Scouts of America would not confirm how many troop leaders it has had to dismiss, but released a statement saying, "The total number of individuals in the file is an extremely small percentage of the tens of millions who have served in BSA since 1910, but even with that handicap, we've been able to molest more young boys than the National Organization of High School Teachers, and just a little less than the gold standard in this area, the Catholic Church.

"Now, don't get me wrong, those guys are good, but given our recent progress, I've got to tell you, I think we've got a shot at No. 1. In fact, if I could leave you with just one thought, it would be this: "Look out, Pope Benny! The Boy Scouts of America are gunning for your ass!

"Oh, can you print 'ass' in your paper?"
