A spokesman for the Boy Scouts of America said in a statement that the filing had "two key objectives: equitably compensate victims who were harmed during their time in Scouting and continue carrying out its mission for years to come. The BSA intends to use the Chapter 11 process to create a Victims Compensation Trust that would provide equitable compensation to victims." The Boy Scouts said that only the national organization had filed for Chapter 11 and that local councils that provide programming and other services are financially independent.

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Good thing they didn’t let gays in. Then they’d really have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Great, now they can consolidate with the Catholic church and form a new unified entity! They already have great alignment and synergy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 The boys are going to have to whore themselves out like the Girl Scouts with cookies to get by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 So their insurance company is not paying out because they say the Scouts knew about this and didn't do anything. That's pretty rough. I hated my time in the scouts, but I do think there is some value to what they do. Maybe something better will rise from their ashes.

AbsolutSurgen Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I know a lot of boys who love being scouts. This is potentially really shitty for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I was a boy scout and I loved it... well, not so much the scouting part, but I liked being in the woods with my friends and I did learn a lot. That said, I had my son in cub scouts for a few years and it SUPER SUCKED. I really don't like the Boy Scouts as an organization, so fuck em. Whatever.

Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 "Telling the youth organization that if they come for the king they best not miss, the Catholic Church announced Thursday that it was not about to be out-molested by the goddamn Boy Scouts."

I know people who enjoyed being altar boys in the Church, too, but it doesn't mean the entire organization shouldn't be burned to the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
