      Be nice if they reduced the lawyers comp. I saw where of the 2.4 billion that 1 billion went to the lawyers. Should have gone to the survivors.

      1. BSA NATIONAL LIQUIDATES and/ or 2. Insurance companies pony up a LOT more $$$ to liquidation trustee   3 LC’s Liquidate and/or see 2 above .  4. Charter orgs voluntarily liquidate or file Ch 11. also See 2 above.    4. Some survivors carry on with litigation including bad faith claims against insurance companies.    5. More states open or reopen windows to allow more survivors a path to just compensation. See 2 above.    6. Scouting becomes a verb again, not a brand name  Many regional and local scouting organizations form and compete with each other to develop the safest system, best and lower cost scouting experience not having to carry the corrupt dead weight of the bureaucracy. Scouting discovers its roots again.

      GSUSA votes on proposal increasing membership dues to $85

      By RememberSchiff · Posted

      Update 10/19/2024: "After discussion with the more than 800 delegates, the National Council approved the new price of membership dues at $65 for girls. Dues will remain at $25 for the next year, then rise to $45 for the 2026 membership year and to $65 in 2027, the organization said. Adult membership dues will increase from $25 to $30 in 2026. ... In 2022, GSUSA lost a trademark infringement lawsuit filed against the Boy Scouts of America, which expanded its reach in recent years to counter a decline in membership. It allows girls, openly gay boys and transgender youth to join. The change fueled concerns in the Girl Scouts that its appeal to girls would be undercut as it was forced to compete for the first time with the larger Boy Scouts for recruits."

      After having my award reduced by 90% I don't have much to lose if it does fail.  The administrator could have used a 75% reduction, as the state of my abuse is in the 10-25% SOL factor.  But she chose 10% (90% reduction) and was inflexible upon reconsideration.  But I am curious.  What occurs with survivors if the plan is killed?  Liquidation?
