The Boy Scouts of America, amid bankruptcy and allegations of widespread sexual abuse within the organization, is proposing a trust fund of at least $300 million to compensate victims, court records show

The money would come from the organization's roughly 250 local councils, in addition to funds from insurance policies and sales of artwork, including Norman Rockwell paintings, and other assets, say the documents filed Monday in US Bankruptcy Court in Delaware. The document does not specify how much compensation victims would receive.Attorney Michael Pfau represents about 1,000 men, whose abuse allegations go back to the 1940s.

"At least 92,000 have filed sex abuse claims against the Boy Scouts, legal team saysBSA said it hopes to emerge from Chapter 11 by fall."The Boy Scouts of America filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to achieve two key imperatives: equitably compensate survivors who were harmed during their time in Scouting and continue to carry out Scouting's mission for years to come," the organization said in a statement.

Allegations from a generation ago. They cleaned house. It is a good organization today with some of the strictest youth safety protocols in place. Don't overlook this important detail.

Bankruptcy Boy scouts and Cub scouts just need to be shut down period. There's no room in today's society for a breeding ground for child molestation.

Seems to me like Homosexuals ruined this organization.

I guess the Catholic Archdiocese will offer a proposal next. 🤔

Sad fact is lawyer's and their staff will get 250 million leaving 50 million for the real victims

All 65 of those original Norman Rockwell's are hanging in a quirky museum in Ohio's Mahoning Valley. The story of how they got there is positively jaw dropping.

Never trust a grown Man alone with your Son. Never allow them access to your Son so easily One mistake and the scumbag ruins your Son for life

Why do some people in authority think it’s ok to abuse their power?

Another cancel culture thing..

Recently my friend's baby was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia & needs a stem cell transplant. Jason & his wife are first-time parents caring for a sick baby & could use some help. If you are in a place to donate or share, it would be appreciated.

They can get it from their friend DJT. He had them boo HRC.

They need morw than that!

So $100 per victim.

原来 sex问题广泛存在于民主国家的团体,群体,机构中。 所以当有人污蔑新疆再教育营存在sex问题时,白皮便相信了。 中国的sex问题比你们低多了! 你们的人权记录太差了

Gee whiz. That's 'right up there rich' with donald trump's suggestion to 'pay off' the Family in England whose child was run over and killed by his Diplomats wife Anne Sacoolas. Offering the money is nothing less than a sickening excuse to justify what the guilty have done.

No amount of money will ever compensate for what happened to those children under their care. The Boy Scouts of America’s leadership has lied and hidden the truth for far too long. They should be disbanded.

Good morning everyone today,Ugandan citizens are bleeding for help please because of the dictator museveni who is after killing Ugandan citizens day and night by order sfc and military forces please stand with Ugandan citizens we are removing dictator museveni 😭😭😭
