DOVER, Del. - The Boy Scouts of America have reached an agreement with attorneys representing some 60,000 victims of child sex abuse in what could prove to be a pivotal moment in the organization’s bankruptcy case.

It also includes attorneys representing local Boy Scouts councils and lawyers appointed to represent victims who might file future claims.
