Description


  • BSA Date Start: 1981
  • BSA Date End: 1984
  • BSA Bankruptcy Claimant: #71396
Curtis Garrison was sexually abused beginning when he was a toddler by his adopted dad, and he remembers seeing what he’d grow up to know was his adopted two sisters & brother (biological children of his adopted parents) and several foster children (that were from their church) all being abused in many kinds of abuse. 

Then he, as well as many other Boy Scouts in his then church’s Boy Scouts Troop, was sexually abused by his Scoutmaster, starting when he was 12.  He was repeatedly sexually abused over one hundred times, until he was 15.  The abuse happened at Boy Scouts camps and other scouting events in Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas, and at locations such as where they had Boy Scouts meetings, at the church, at his home, and the perpetrator’s home and place of work. 

He fought for over forty years to hold the Boy Scouts accountable, and he helped make the $2.46 Billion BSA bankruptcy happen!
