Following the death of a 16-year-old boy who plunged 200 feet to his death during a botched expedition, the parents of children who tragically died while on Scout trips are calling for a public inquiry into the organization. During an unexpected walk on the Great Orme in North Wales in 2018, Ben Leonard (pictured left) slipped and collapsed from a steep ledge looking for a 'easier way down'. According to an inquest into the tragedy, he and two others became 'lost' by the trip's three scout leaders after the adults failed to warn them of the risks of going near cliff edges. A jury found a scout leader and his assistant guilty of Ben's unlawful killing, which was attributed to The Scout Association's neglect. However, Ben isn't the first person to die while on a Scout trip. According to The Times, there have been 17 deaths on the trips since 1995. Now, Ben's mother has joined with other concerned parents to request that the association have the right safeguarding procedures in place and that the Scouts be scrutinized externally.
