The Boy Scouts of America is weighing filing for bankruptcy protection, according to a new report.
The group’s leaders have brought on the Sidley Austin law firm to provide support in the event of a chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, sources familiar with the situation told the Wall Street Journal.
The potential move coincides with a decline in membership and mounting legal fees connected to a series of lawsuits related to the organization’s management of sexual abuse allegations.
For example, four men sued the Boy Scouts in July, accusing the group of not taking appropriate action to prevent an accused serial pedophile from leading a troop in the 1970s.
The lawsuit alleges the scout leader sexually abused the Boy Scouts between 1974 and 1976, and it claims that the national organization was aware that scouting had become a “pedophile magnet” but didn’t take appropriate action to prevent abuse from occurring.
If the Boy Scouts did file for bankruptcy, the litigation would be stalled and the group could try to hash out an agreement with those who brought the lawsuits against them.
The Boy Scouts was first launched in 1910 and has had more than 110 million people participate in its programs since then.
Get woke. Go broke.
You beat me to it. Exactly what I was going to say.
What parent(s) in their right mind would send their male children to be trained by an organization the has now surrendered to the PC crowd and allows openly gay men total access to juvenile boys for days at a time?.............
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Embrace the queers, and oh - let girls join the Boyscouts.
Leftists, progressives and NWO types are smiling.
They have taken down a major cultural pillar of traditional American boyhood/manhood, patriotism, independence and conservatism.
The Boy Scouts affair will be featured in a Neo-Marxist manual somewhere as an ideal case study of how to social-engineer a society.
The goal of the homos/libs was to destroy it...................
Every Roman catholic Family does that every day of the year and several times on Sunday
Also, child abuse by kid jock coaches is ignored because they are
Jocks. Ditto Choir directors
You can't fix stupid.
Just let more trannys and girls in, works great. Sorry I woke up very sarcastic this AM.
Is there anything in this world liberals touch that doesn’t turn to shit?
Go figure. Hire a bunch of gayz and parents aren't so sure about sending their kids into the woods with 'em.
Exactly
I think when they changed from the Boy Scouts to the Gay Scouts they signed their death warrant.
Wow! That was quick.
That’s not ‘sarcasm’.
It’s what they actually think and believe!......................
A similar pattern is emerging in the Catholic church. My son is going though confirmation class, and I will not let him attend any of the overnight retreats.
Liberals insidiously infected the most conservative of institutions, and are now in charge of them in many instances. Their attacks on the family continue as we speak, since the family (one mom, one dad) is the last remaining firewall to their total destruction of all that is normal.
They have taken down a major cultural pillar of traditional American boyhood/manhood, patriotism, independence and conservatism.
After the queers conquered the military, everything else was a cake walk.
Dear BSA, you have already given up on your principles, so there is nothing left to save, just do a Chapter 7 and be done with it.
Maybe the homo Mafia will bail them out
