(Daniel Payne) The Boy Scouts of America on Thursday appeared to reach a settlement in bankruptcy court that would pay out nearly $1 billion to many thousands of accusers who say the organization facilitated their sexual abuse years ago.
by Daniel Payne, July 3rd, 2021
The $850 million settlement would be paid out to around 60,000 men who say that as boys they were assaulted at the hands of scout officials.
The filing comes amid the Boy Scouts’ larger bankruptcy proceedings. The organization, which is more than a century old, filed for bankruptcy protection last year as hundreds of sex abuse claims came to light.
A judge will still have to approve the Thursday filing before the payments can proceed.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
