  1. Welcome to this forum. It is exceptional. Your son is in statute as a minor regardless of it being a gray state. The various gray state columns are for men who are out of statute based on age or their chance of recovery in a lawsuit brought in that state because of its SOL rules. There are many minors in this case. BSA and the local councils have not factored the minor cases in considering the sufficiency of the local council contributions. Your son falls in a category that is probably a NO vote on this plan. He’d do much better depending on the facts suing the LC and charter or

  3. It is clearly associated with BSA. I'm not sure why you are not seeing the connection: https://www.hoac-bsa.org/mic-o-say Pick through here. You'll find a lot. https://indiancountrytoday.com/news/research-compiled-in-the-boy-scout-series-in-indian-country-today However, if you think shirtless youth wearing loincloths, even over shorts, in the company of adult men in camp ceremonies in the woods for no reason is not inappropriate from a youth protection standpoint, then that's the explanation for why this kind of thing persists. That's good news.

  4. https://casedocs.omniagentsolutions.com/cmsvol2/pub_47373/2e1a8c44-7812-46a0-8a93-5aa5621dc7b2_6431.pdf This is the latest disclosure. Right now, claims inside the statute of limitations are considered open states (regardless of what state it occurred in). The references you see to grey states are for those claims outside the SOL. This is definitely not legal advice, as @CynicalScouter stated we do our best to talk general aspects of the bankruptcy but cannot give legal advice in specific cases.

  5. klleboe welcome to the forum. There is a wealth of expertise and experience here who will be glad to assist. I think this is heart-breaking for all of us to hear and we wish for a day where all children and youth are safe. I think that the advice to consult with your attorney on the specifics of your case is wise. Also, if you have not already, consider securing the assistance of a counselor or other helping professional not only for your son but also for your family. This is a tough road to walk alone.

  6. It’s been day by day for the last three years but he’s a fighter! He’s wicked strong and I am so proud of him. The bankruptcy is just confusing and I don’t want to give him bad intel when he asks me questions.

  7. While we can offer our opinions and conjecture about the settlement in general, or for the "average" victim in order to answer questions pertaining to your particular son you need to speak with your attorney. Only he or she can tell you exactly what the ramifications are in your particular case.

  9. I was a scout and now a scouter (Den Leader and ASM) for about 7 years. Recently completed my OA ordeal with my son and we both went to our first OA Fellowship recently. I'm looking to learn from some who have gone before me and provide information where I can. Also interested in access to the OA section of the site if anyone can fill me in on how to get a password.

  11. Normally when someone makes a claim with no references and tells me to go look it up, I ignore it. But, this is a serious subject so I did as you requested. As for Mic-O-Say, it is not associated with the OA or BSA. what they do I am not aware, nor how they manage being involved even tangentially to BSA camps. As for photos, I found nothing like you described. The closest were a couple of photos from 2014 where the scouts had loin cloths over shorts. I even searched Mic-O-Say's FB page and Googled them. And just in case I was missing something I turned off safe search in my br

  13. I work with several national staff and national OA on a regular basis, I can guarantee they would want to know and it would cause an immediate reaction, particularly given the current headlines regarding BSA. I was on a 3 hour call last night with several national OA leaders, inductions and ceremonies were all we talked about. This type behavior would be hammered. Again, if it is being done then it needs to be spotlighted. Here is the thing, I visit Lodges frequently, I speak with leaders around the country. I am not seeing or heading of anything like this. So, if it is happening, p

  15. Exactly. I have seen it too. Personally called the 800 scouts number. National doesn’t care and will not lift a finger. My council, thanks heavens, won’t put up with this garbage.

  16. Go Google and FB search the photos that are dated this summer. I would post but the mods would disapprove and frankly it comes close to child pornography. I will be very, very happy when an external monitor comes into BSA and starts to clean house. Perhaps some people losing jobs and positions will get the message through. Nothing else does or will. I want to also see council by council reports of the number of YP violations reported and results. BSA needs to stop hiding.
