At first I thought this might be good news for the BSA, but my fear is that it simply drags out the bankruptcy. It almost doesn’t matter if it is 15,000 or 85,000 ... the BSA only has a fixed amount of assets and most will be lost with either number The big money might be with the insurance companies. They historically have paid 20 - 80% of the total claims. BSA won’t have billions, even after selling HA based, but the insurance companies will. I expect they the insurance companies will also see this case as the first of many coming from the look back law changes. So they will fight every claim, even if it takes months to years. In the meantime, BSA will continue to hemorrhage cash. I hope the BSA can settle and let the insurance companies fight the claims separately. -

IMHO, here is a Council that understands their local summer camp planning has a higher priority and purpose than the National-driven endless restructuring. “We have a very good group of volunteers and staff that, this is really their one, main priority right now, is to make sure that we can hold camp and we can hold it in a safe manner for everyone,” Hawkeye Area Council (Iowa) CEO Sarah Dawson said. ... “We are designing plans A, B, C, D, through about Z right now to make sure that we have — we’re looking at all options, and no matter what happens and what stage we’re at, that we’ll still be able to hold things safely,” Dawson said. https://www.kcrg.com/2021/01/25/hawkeye-area-council-to-resume-scout-camps-this-summer-adding-sessions-for-non-scouts/ -
