was an LDS church member; accused of sexual abuse

Case Summary

08/14/87 California

Kenneth L. Hanigan, was placed on the BSA File for allegations of child molestation but in
the file a letter from the BSA District Scout Executive Lou Garcia indicates that “the Troops
Charter partner head and the Troop’s committee chairman would be informed of his
suspension.” 1 included Hanigan in this document because perhaps this is routine and
standard operating procedure for the Scouts to notify the Chartering organization when an
adult scouter is accused of child molestation so here it is in writing on page 10.
