They helped her think about it from a different perspective, how even if this was fairly innocent, what if it wasn’t? What would she do, what would they have done. Then the scouts who were on the bus together, who saw what happened, who took some action then, decided they should let an adult know, and went themselves to the camp director to report it, not so much to get the other scout in trouble, but so a staffer could talk about why his actions were a problem and teach about consent.

This is not something I’ve seen before, older boys educating younger ones about consent, supporting a girl when she was not fully aware of what was going on, focusing on educating everyone involved on how actions impact others. And they didn’t make a big deal about it, but also didn’t let it slide. A thing happened, it was not ok, here is what we do about it. The other female leader with me (who is 69 and seen some shit) just marveled at the awareness of these kids. It’s pretty great. 4/4
