The Boy Scouts of America banned from the scouting movement a priest accused of pedophilia who faces multiple sex-abuse cases in Guam, according to the head of the organization’s Aloha Council.
The council, which has jurisdiction over the Boys Scouts’ Guam chapter, was commenting on recent court cases filed in federal court against Louis Brouillard, a former Guam priest and former Boy Scouts troop master.
Fifteen claims of sexual abuse of children filed recently allege that Brouillard, while on Guam, used his position in the local Boy Scouts chapter to prey on young boys in the 1970s.
“The behavior included in these allegations is abhorrent and runs counter to everything for which the Boy Scouts of America stands,” said Jeff Sulzbach, chief executive officer of the Boy Scouts of America Aloha Council. “Upon learning of these reports, we took immediate action to preclude this individual from any further participation in the scouting program.”
