Netflix September 6, 2023
Survivors, whistleblowers and experts recount the Boy Scouts of America's decades long cover-up of sexual abuse cases and its heartbreaking impact.

AS STATED IN THE BOY SCOUTS CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY PLAN

OVERVIEW

• There are 82,209 Child Sex Abuse Survivors that are Claimants.

• The Boy Scouts will pay less than 10% ($219 Million) of the $2.46 Billion bankruptcy plan. The rest will be paid by insurance companies and Councils.

• The Boy Scouts will pay more to their attorneys (>$300 Million) than to the Survivors ($219 Million).

CLAIMS

• At the least 164,667 Boy Scouts Child Sex Abuse CLAIMS have been confirmed to have been filed throughout their existence.

82,458 TOTAL CLAIMS BEFORE the Boy Scouts filed for Bankruptcy February 18th, 2020.

82,209 ADDITIONAL CLAIMS IN the Boy Scouts Bankruptcy filed February 18th, 2020 and before the deadline November 16, 2020.

11,000 ADDITIONAL FUTURE CLAIMS projected during Boy Scouts Bankruptcy hearings that will be from current Boy Scouts members and those that didn't before the bankruptcy deadline.

COUNCILS

• There are 254 Councils.

Councils have a total of 82,209 Claims.

TOTAL CLAIM VALUES are $8,496,321,125 to $38,846,098,870

• The Councils Total Contribution will be only $500,712,365.

• The Councils have Total Net Assets of $1,803,482,401.

CHARTERS

• There are tens of thousands of churches, schools, and several other entities that are Charters.

• Liability releases for these non-debtor third parties in the bankruptcy plan, potentially extending to tens of thousands of entities, is unprecedented, and part of what makes this a landmark bankruptcy if settled as currently proposed.
