Best Answer

For the following convictions (Felony or Misdemeanor) the answer is no, never...

1. Crimes involving sexual deviancy, sexual abuse, sodomy, sexual assault,

rape, sexual misconduct, pornography, soliciting prostitution, or any

other sex-related crime.

2. Any offense involving a child or a dependent adult.

3. Manufacture, distribution, or possession with intent to deliver drugs or

illegal substances.

4. Crimes of violence against anyone, including aggravated or felony

assault, battery, manslaughter, homicide, and any offense in which a

weapon was used.

For all other Felony convictions The BSA may consider the seriousness of the crime, age when it was committed, how long ago and other factors in determining if the volunteer will be accepted or rejected.

Lying on your app or trying to hide the conviction is a sure way to be banned!

While there are state laws that prohibit those with certain types of convictions from working with children in any manner, I'm not aware of any law that prohibits a convicted person from being a Boy Scout leader; however, the organization may have a policy or bias against allowing convicted persons from being leaders or in fact having any affiliation with the organization. Having checked the website, however, no clearly stated policy is in evidence. So, your best course of action, should you wish to become a Scout leader is to apply as any other volunteer leader would and see what happens.
