I feel the same way as you one this.
My guess would be that some legal eagle informed FIRST to limit their liability to have the checks performed.
Is it a good idea to protect our children, sure is but FIRST has not fully disclosed who sees what or where the information ends up to protect our rights.
Before you ask, as a Canadian I have gone through the 'vulnerable sector' screening that included having my finger prints sent to the RCMP to have my 'cleared' status confirmed.
