The Boy Scouts of America is mulling declaring bankruptcy amid flagging membership and an avalanche of costly sex abuse allegations, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Leaders have hired Chicago law firm Sidley Austin for help in a potential Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, sources told the outlet.
The organization has been fending off lawsuits over alleged abuse, including one filed by four former scouts who called the club a pedophile magnet and alleged that they were molested by scoutmaster Waldron Ackerman between 1974 and 1976.
The organization has reportedly lost two-thirds of its members some 4 million boys since the 1970s.

Yes...they DESTROYED THEMSELVES.
Not to mention that their prices have gone beyond stupid.
The BSA went into this predicament with their eyes open. They were warned a thousand times by parents who had pulled their children out of the organization.
Reap it...
Intentionally.
They couldn't abide an organization that was teaching boys and young men traditional values like godliness, reverence, respect, responsibility, self reliance, patriotism, manners.
And horrors! - Teaching them to be honest, loyal and trustworthy.
Not to mention manly arts and crafts like firearm training, hunting, fishing and other outdoor skills.
All character traits that democrats and other liberals find abhorrent and have been working to stamp out for the last 70 years.
Rats and gays destroyed the BSA as they have many other things.
B, Bu, But all homosexuals want is to be able to love whom they want, not to force everyones face in it (BSA, private business owners, private property rental owners, schools, military, ...) right?
My guess was he was also a pedophile rather than merely a homosexual.
Something got memory holed, censored, 1st amendment abused...
When you capitulate to immoral bullies, you will eventually lose.
Wasnt Rex Tillerson on the board when they accepted gay boys?
Destroying a God fearing, family organization is the goal of the gay gestapo.
Tears of sadness from an old Den mother.
Had a district scout executive (BSA employee) who was rumored to be a fag, and he seemed to spend a lot of time with our troop. In retrospect I’ve wondered if he tried something with a kid, because he just disappeared without notice. We just figured it was because he was a queer, and who the hell would want a queer around their kids?
This was the plan from the get go of the progressive liberal homosexuals.
The scouts have an incredible amount of property worth many many millions of dollars.
Where do you think that money will go when they liquidate it?
The BSA committed suicide by PC.
Two of my friends mailed there Eagle Scout awards back to the BSA a few years ago.
I asked for my previous comment to be deleted - so that the OP would know it wasn’t directed at them (by mistake).
;)
I had not heard that before . Sounds very verifiable.
2 things opened the door for this:
1. Freedom of Association is dead in the United States.
2. All clubs lack for leadership as well as membership.
Groups like BSA are tempted to compromise their charters in pursuit of other groups that might stem their membership declines. Those same membership declines for these associations to look for corporate support — and with that comes strings.
This should be a fun thread.
Thanks.
I’ve had some posts quashed here, not at my request.
