Boy Scouts of America is proposing to pay roughly $220 million toward a trust to compensate tens of thousands of former members who say they were abused as scouts, according to a statement from the committee that represents survivors in the case.
Another $300 million may come from a voluntary contribution from local councils, the Boy Scouts said in court documents filed Monday, but the local organizations have given no formal commitment.
The number is a fraction of the $1 billion of the organization s estimated value, and a sliver of the value of its subsidiaries, including local councils as well as various trusts and endowments, which USA TODAY estimates could exceed $3.7 billion.

By Peg Brickley and The Boy Scouts of America are offering cash, artwork and other assets to sex-abuse victims under a bankruptcy plan filed Monday, an opening gambit by the youth group to move past the failures to protect children that have threatened its standing in American society. Sexual abuse by Boy Scout volunteers has put the organization s survival at risk unless it can build support for its chapter 11 exit proposal, which offers recompense to abuse victims for the damage done to them as children. The Boy Scouts have apologized and said they want to make peace with the 85,000 people who stepped forward after the organization filed for bankruptcy to claim they were sexually abused.
