I've received more information and I see why you said that. I just realized it will put some of us in a conflict of interest situation. 

Ok, now that's even more curious. Why would you have conflict of interest? Between your unit and your CO/Church?

What is legally right is not always morally right.

I would encourage everyone to not ask @ThenNow to rehash particular circumstances. They can be found by patiently browsing his posts. From what I read, they were far from legal. His claim would have b

The way to try and avoid this negative outcome is for each affected local church to file a Proof of Claim with the Bankruptcy Court. It is essential for each local church to have its board of trustees and/or administrative council, to immediately conduct a very careful review of whether the church has ever been a Charter Organization of any BSA Unit.

This would explain why the Florida Methodist Churches came in recently.

Remember how I previously said that this does NOT end with BSA liquidated because the Congressional Charter will save the shell?

Yeah, now more than ever I believe that. The COs will throw national and especially the Councils under any and all available buses.

National and the Councils are going to lose every tangible asset.

I do have mixed feelings, but it doesn't put me in a conflict of interest, since my loyalties are entirely with the CO.  I have always been clear about that.  I can understand how some people might feel differently.

Actually it could be viewed the other way, National is throwing the COs under the bus. The Charter Agreement states, "Provide primary general liability insurance to cover the Chartered Organization, its board, officers, COR, employees, and Scouting members and volunteers for authorized Scouting activities. Indemnify the Chartered Organization in accordance with the resolutions and policies of the National Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America.."

This needs to come up in the bankruptcy and abuse settlement. National took on this responsibility to the COs, they need to be held responsible. And of course, the insurance companies the BSA used should be held accountable for paying these claims.

Here comes the Methodist onslaught. All these claims filed against BSA In the last 6 days.

Whose is next? The Lutherans? The Catholics?

 

At this point, from an objective viewpoint, it seems like every CO group ought to be doing the same thing out of sense of self preservation -- American Legions, Volunteer Fire Departments, VFWs, private schools. I don't know if others were anticipating this but it seems like a mess on top of a mess to me.

Moderator note. Some of those executive claim links have not redacted home addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses, so I hid post.

@CynicalScouter if you want to re-post just those redacted claim links e.g. Mosby and Surbaugh that should be fine.

Thanks,

@MattR   @John-in-KC

DOH!

Fixed, I stripped ALL links from EVERYTHING.

Once upon a time (March?) I think there was some notion that this would be limited to National and the Councils.

Now, it has become clear that the plaintiffs are not going to stop with National and the Councils, the COs would be, as you imply, utter morons NOT to at least put in the claim (they all either list a price of $0 or simply leave it blank) in order to preserve their rights.

Yup. This liability to the CO's is going to be the real driver behind whether the BSA survives or not. If CO's drop their units in mass to avoid future liability, this will be the end of the BSA in it's current structure. I'm already steeling myself that National and the Council's will lose everything. If they don't I'll be pleasantly surprised.

I agree. There is so much ill will that could be created here among so many community groups that I don't see how scouting in any form could withstand it. Scouts is in another impossible situation but the fact that COs have had, as far as I know, practically no direct communication from National on this as it developed has probably been alarming to the ones who have been paying attention. What will happen to the ones who aren't paying attention and don't file a claim and wind up suffering losses?  The Methodist church makes out OK but the AME church or VFW down the street does not? Whose moral responsibility is it to tell them to file by Nov. 16?

I live here in Kansas City, and used to know a National VFW player in their youth serving support.  Regrettably he has since passed, but I think you'll find VFW National will be informing VFW local Posts.  Cannot speak for other organizations.
