What to wear for interview at home?

[THParent]

I am still active in Boy Scouts, I am also a NRA instructor, a USAA Archery instructor, and a Karate instructor.
As a volunteer/instructor I always exercise two-deep leadership and am never alone with students.
It helps to take any guesswork out of the equation, in this litigious world.

If I were a BGO, I would do the interview either at the candidate's house, in a public place with people and cameras around, or at my house (with cameras actively recording sound and video).

All that has to happen is that someone (in this case a minor) says that something untoward happened during the interview, and then it's up to you to prove that they're lying about it. I would never put myself in that sort of situation.

So yeah @kinnem we're already sort of there.
Let the record show, that I would implicitly trust any BGO, because they go through training and have to re-certify just like I do.
I would suggest that USNA train BGOs to think more like me when it comes to safeguarding themselves, however.

Talk about a thread derail.

I would think the BGO wouldn’t want the liability of doing it alone at their house!

Interestingly, I was just talking with one of my colleagues today about meeting with young associates behind closed doors. I will admit to treating young men and women differently in that respect -- I often do BGO interviews at my office with young men on Saturday mornings, when there are usually only a few people around. I always meet with young women during the normal work day, with staff around and with the door at least partially open. It's unfortunate that we have to think like that, but its just common sense in today's environment.

And of course 95 percent of them are amazing volunteers!

Only 95% ?

Ok I have no basis for that 95%. Lol. 99.9

When you can't entrust your kid to a BGO things are pretty bad out there.

You could say the same thing about catholic priest or Boy Scout leaders. And honestly, I would think the BGO wouldn’t want the liability of doing it alone at their house! And of course 95 percent of them are amazing volunteers! My son went, all I was saying is that it crossed my mind. And you’re right, it’s sad that it had to.

Didn't intend any criticism of you. My words meant exactly what they said. No more, no less.
