- An inquest jury found a leader and his assistant responsible for unlawful killing, and neglect by the Scout Association contributed.

- Lawyers for the Scouts and several other individuals applied to extend the reporting restriction indefinitely, but this was refused following an application by several media organisations including the BBC.

- There was also no on-the-day risk assessments carried out for the trip up the Great Orme, and no discussion about safety with the Explorer Scouts by their group leader Sean Glaister, or assistant leader Mary Carr.

- The inquest was told that there was no Scout accredited first aider on the trip, after a senior leader failed to attend the event.

- Mr Glaister agreed The Scout Association never monitored his activities or ensured any training he was supposed to undergo had ever been done.

- Ben's family were lied to as the Scout Association was worried about "reputational damage".

- "We've been unable to move forward, with the strange feeling that somehow Ben has not been allowed to die until we finally get a death certificate," she said. 

- She said she "never had any faith or trust" in the Scouts, and felt the organisation "relied" on the family being naïve to the process.

- Mrs Leonard added the organisation had tried to portray her son as a "wild child", taking a "defensive" attitude.

- "This verdict must surely now mean they have to be regulated by an external body," she said.
