Speaking about the leftists on the board -I had a wild thought the other day when considering how the leftists had gotten this far by infiltrating the BSA national board and it came to me that perhaps it was one or both of these leftists that was behind the released information pertaining to the so called 'BSA perversion files' that were trumpeted all over the leftist media recently as a way to discredit the national BSA leadership.
I wonder?
This story is old. It isn’t regarding the current “debate”.
No.
The Oregon Supreme Court upheld a lower court's ruling to release that information.
A Scout leader named Timur Dykes abused Scouts at a summer camp. He confessed that to a bishop of his church, but the bishop did not report the abuse to the authorities, the local Scout Council, or the BSA.
Years later, one of the abused Scouts sued the church, the Cascade Pacific Council, and the BSA.
The church settled out of court. The Council and the BSA fought the case, arguing that they had no knowledge. The jury found that they should have known. Although the jury determined that the church was responsible for a certain percentage of the judgment, it had already settled out of court so the BSA and the Cascade Pacific Council had to pay the entire muti-million dollar judgment.
As part of the judgment, the court ruled that the BSA had to turn over its perversion files.
