The move comes after the deadline for filing childhood sexual assault claims was extended in California and other states.

The Boy Scouts of America, one of the nation’s oldest and largest youth organizations, filed for bankruptcy protection late Monday as legal claims by former Scouts of past sexual abuse continue to mount.

The Scouts’ bankruptcy is not likely to affect local Scouting activities but will halt ongoing lawsuits while settlements are negotiated. It also will require new abuse claims to be handled in that venue rather than in state courts. As recently as last week, the Boy Scouts of America said “no decisions have been made” on bankruptcy and that it “does not comment on rumors or speculation.”

ChrisMegerian Good I hope they dissolve boyscouts

ChrisMegerian The bankruptcy patch - who knew?

Homosexuals and progressive ideals bring down American institution. Nice work fellas.

There’s that money thing again....

All the good thing disappeared after all the bad things from Democrab blended in.

Hell no.

Mixed feelings about this. Clearly, boyscouts is doing this to avoid compensating victims fairly... and robbing them of their voices in a short-circuited process. On the other hand, real risk there are so many victims that the organization folds. Protect children always.

The boyscouts could've learned a lesson from the Catholic Church. If you're going to bugger boys in the modern world, you need to own land.

I never had to join the scouts or go to summer camp I was raised by parents who loved me and wanted to spend time with me

I'm glad. These people are disgusting

MrJonCryer No wonder the organization was so eager to change its name to just 'Scouts'.

yoda I guess they shouldn't of had all that raping

MrJonCryer Another tRump victory!

BecauseOfCourse

MrJonCryer Holy crap. I didn’t know it was this bad. Damn I lucked out in my years in the BSA. This is horrifying.

oof

Lady_Star_Gem Join the church 😡

New badges don‘t include sex w/minors boyscouts BREAKING

awalkerinLA I didn't know you could file moral bankruptcy.

They should have got the deal that the church pedo gang got...they don’t even get identified half the time and tax exempt

They should have been prepared

You hire your friends and cousins. Do you really think you’re hiring the most eligible candidates?

Given the controls put in place 20 years ago, all of this seems suspect. These controls were fool proof the number of complaints went to zero. What is going on here a satanic attack on a God Fearing Organization? The enemy always uses sexual accusations he leads us into

Good. They should be shut down.

But don’t let the gays in. This reminds me of a few churches that I won’t name 🙄

Good

I never let my son join the Boy Scouts of America, at times I felt lousy for stealing that experience from his young life. Now I realize it was the right thing to do. I am sure many wonderful folk have been involved with the BSA over the years, I couldn't take the chance.

It would seem that all organisations where grown men are intensely/obsessively involved with young boys will attract a significant number of paedophiles

Wow can the Catholic Church be next

Anytime there’s a sex scandal now I put them in two categories. Trump/Church. This is being filed under trump. The church is still solvent.

Didn't they change the name after accepting girls in the boy scout of America? They deserve to go under for selling themselves to the crazy sjw mob

Just end the Boy Scouts entirely!

My girl scout leader used to film us peeing on a VHS camera for fun at our Girl Scout meetings... but go ahead attack only masculinity.

How does a non profit org that lives off donations go bankrupt?

Dear Lord i pray for BSA

The Boy Scouts is a pedophile ring.
