You're not paranoid.
One of my duties with the District is training. And one of the principle things taught in Basic Leader Essentials is "Two Deep Leadership". This basically means that there is
AT LEAST two adults present at all times, no matter how many kids there are.
If you do get involved as an adult, I suggest taking the New Leader Essentials and Youth Protection training.
I have found working with the young scouts again rewarding. They learn, and I learn right along with them.
