Current Susquehanna Council Boy Scouts of America Executive Jon Brennan said he had not reviewed the released files and did not have any further information on the Shamokin case.
He said, however, that the organization is "extremely concerned about the safety of everyone involved" in Scouting.
"We're working nationally and locally to enhance policies and procedure to make sure we're ahead of society's best practices against abuse," he said.
Brennan said every adult volunteer goes through a background check and every Scoutmaster must participate in a youth protection prevention training program, which includes reporting procedures. Parents and Scouts are also encouraged to participate in the program.
Every Scouting activity must have two adults present, he said.
In the Scout handbook, there is information for parents on how to teach their boys to recognize, resist and report suspicious behavior and abuse, he said.
"As an organization, any time an abuse occurs, we are very concerned about the victim," Brennan said.
He urged people to visit www.scouting.org/Training/YouthProtection.aspx to review the material and programs.
The Susquehanna Council serves more than 2,500 youth through the adult leadership of 1,200 adult volunteers in Snyder, Northumberland, Clinton, Union and Lycoming counties. In 1964, the council covered just Snyder, Northumberland and Union.
