In re: Boy Scots of America and Delaware BSA, LLC

Wilmington, Delaware person injury and bankruptcy lawyers represented the creditors in the Boy Scots of America bankruptcy.



The ranks of the Boy Scouts of America's ranks has had a history of sexual abuse. For decades, that abuse permeated scouting programs, ranging from single instances of harassment to serial offenses of sexual penetration. In recent years, more and more brave victims of this abuse have come forward and filed lawsuits against the Boy Scouts of

America and others in the tort system to recover for the harm they suffered, prompting Debtors Boy Scouts of America and

Delaware BSA, LLC (collectively BSA or the Debtors) in 2020 to declare bankruptcy and to commence years of negotiations

with claimants, insurers, and other interested parties towards a global resolution for the thousands of tort claims against BSA and related entities. That plan (the Plan), confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court more than two years ago, among other things, provides for the creation of a trust (the Settlement Trust), funded by the sale of certain assets and contributions from BSA and other nondebtors, to pay out distributions to abuse claimants. The Plan became effective in April 2023 after the District Court affirmed the Bankruptcy Court's confirmation order (the Confirmation Order).

The Circuit Court dismissed the Lujan Claimants’ and

D&V Claimants’ appeals, affirm as to the Certain Insurers’

claims, and reverse as to the Allianz Insurers’ claims.
