Boy Scouts of America facing over 3,000 claims from former NY scouts


Settlement proposal
The BSA 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. An additional $300 million may come from a voluntary contribution from local councils, the Boy Scouts said in court documents filed earlier this month; 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.  
The proposal is part of a reorganization plan put forth by the iconic nonprofit detailing how it intends to handle the massive child sex abuse case that’s threatening its existence – the largest ever involving a single national organization – and emerge as a viable entity.  ....

Boy Scouts submit plan to bankruptcy court amid abuse s...


The Boy Scouts of America s bankruptcy reorganization plan submitted Monday leaves many unanswered questions about how it will resolve tens of thousands of sexual abuse claims by former Boy Scouts.
Among the suits is one filed in 2016 by Robert William Lawson III of Gainesville, who accused a former Gainesville scoutmaster of raping him when he was teenager in 1985. The suit alleges that the scoutmaster, R. Fleming Weaver Jr., raped Lawson on a scouting event at Camp Rainey Mountain.
 
While Lawson s suit claims he was abused several times over a weekend at the camp, it also contends others were abused at the scout facility behind the church. Weaver served as a Scoutmaster from 1969 until 1981 at Troop 26 which is sponsored by First Baptist Church of Gainesville. ....
