The 2.4% was a cost of living adjustment. It was part of the settlement documents and has nothing to do with any additional contributions. -
I understand not wanting to even open up old wounds it felt like it was not worth the trouble years ago I started the process but never went through with it . I regret it now because my business partner ended up stealing everything I owned and been homeless for about two years now. About 6 months ago I tried to reach out to some lawyers witch was very embarrassing and even told my mom . Witch was the worst mistake ever she is the worst mother ever that was the last time I ever want to ever talk to her again I should have known better the was she is so insensitive she told me I was lying I had to get into a fight to get out of going to scouts . I've always had authority and trust issues since my whole life .The only other person I've told was my ex-wife and she would even say I was gay sometimes . I have so much anger that I bet half the people that are collecting money haven't even had anything done to them . They are just as bad as the guy that took advantage of me at camp and every one of them pedophiles and be executed .Sorry but that's how I feel . You enjoy that money be a insult to me for you not to God bless -

Probably. I got an email today. It stated the amounts the men receive should be 55% of the amount that the settlement was for. This was because the amount of the claims is more that the amount to be dispersed. It said that some "objecting parties" are taking this to the Supreme Court. But this attorney said that it is highly unlikely that the SC will "take up the matter" based on past cases. Ex. $100,000 settlement and you receive $55,000. However, in my case (as I had mentioned), the 1.5% check (of the total settlement) I received had 46% taken out. So, in my example, if the 46% deduction applies, the $55,000 drops to $29,700. I don't know whether taxes are then taken out. But, from what I gather, there are no taxes to be paid. In the sexual abuse lawsuit against the Catholic Church, the victims did not pay taxes on the settlements, unlike a bad product or a company ripping off the customers. That really knocks down the amount that I, we, were told the settlement was for. I don't want this to sound like I am money hungry or itching to get my hands on it. I do this so as to help the other guys. Their attorneys may not update them every Friday like mine does. I will give at least 10% (a tithe) to a church and a charity we support. I look at it like this ... Whatever the final amount is, I would not have gotten anything if I had not joined the suit. In my case, the Scouts did not hurt me, an older, bigger Boy Scout did, and we were afraid of him as he held merit badges and promotions over us and threaten to harm us. I feel awkward accepting anything from the BSA. My Scout Master was a fine man. I liked him respected him and learned from him. He would have taken action against our abuser if we had spoken up. But back in the mid 60's, boys had a code: boys don't hit girls, boys don't squeal, boys suck it up and walk it off. Our abuser spent 13 years in prison as an adult for abusing children. He is on the Alabama Sexual Offenders web site. My wife and I are very blessed that whatever I receive will be invested or used in a good way, after the 10% is given away. I doubt if I will every "enjoy" it. With my heart, I may not be here next year. Hope this helps. -
That 2.4% is probably an indicator that some entity that was holding out on contributing due to the appeal has decided to contribute but it has not been made public yet. -
It should all be available through your council training committee. NYLT is standardized by national, course directors and program directors are not allowed to deviate from the program or make their own materials. If the new leader is not getting anywhere dealing with the council, have them reach out to Philmont and Summit for materials.
