SICKLERVILLE, N.J. (WPVI) -- A man who has been involved in the Boy Scouts for 40 years and a master scout leader for a troop in Sicklerville, New Jersey now faces child pornography charges.

The charges come after detectives in Camden County searched his home on Avella Lane and found several digital devices that were analyzed.

At this time it's unclear if any boy scouts were in any of the images.
