I have studied this from almost day 1 because it is my story. My abuser was not only my troop leader but a lay teacher at my catholic elementary school as well as my coach for after school sports. BSA wasn't paying his salary when I was in his class nor was it paying him to umpire local youth baseball games. For me, there is a guide post so to speak, when I was getting abused at school activity vs a BSA scouting activity. In fact, the TDP itself reflects this situation known as a mitigating factor (value of your claim is reduced) because the survivor had a relationship with the abuser ou

Will do.

This is such a very sad list, and I am certain that it will grow much longer before it's done. So much history and so many memories disappearing. I've seen camps turned into city, county or state parks, as well as one or two university facilities, and there are also land trusts that could keep the character of many of the wonderful places going indefinitely.

Perhaps because if Bates' low valuations are accepted it could make it a lot more difficult to get at the excess insurance coverage in some years.

Good article in WP “It’s sad that we have to make these,” she said. “But this could make a difference, if we get all these boxes out to Ukraine.” The kits were designed by Dan Olesnicky, a trauma surgeon who is a Ukrainian scout, and many Plast chapters have been filling boxes with them in recent weeks, shipping them overseas to Plast Ukraine along with other aid. On Saturday, the Bethesda school cafeteria echoed with the sound of mothers calling to their children in Ukrainian, the buzz of vacuum-sealers closing the filled bags, and the screech of duct tape bei

From OP, let's stay on topic. Thanks RS

With that perspective, it may be something to consider as part of bankruptcy reorganization or once BSA gets done being pulled through this knothole.

Hmmm - thanks. But does that mean the HA Camps could be at risk?

To be clear, I do not believe the Catholic Church or any of their entities are protected. What happened is that the Ad Hoc Catholic Committee settled. They removed their objections and I believe they are protected like all COs for abuse post 1976. However, they are not protected prior to 1976.

We really don't need more ugly hatred during such sad times. This is very very hard for so so many that gave so so much.

I have served as the council historian for many years and searched through my materials from that time period. No charter agreement found but the thing that stuck me was the new unit organizational materials provided by the council. There was essentially no training material that covered chartered organization duties, responsibility or accountability. There were no references to youth protection which is not surprising since it was the late 1980's before the BSA rolled out its youth protection program. I think that it is fair to say, based on what I could find from that time period, that many
