About CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE in Boys Scouts of America
Boy Scouts of America
We handle civil cases against organizations, including the Boy Scouts of America, involving sexual abuse by leaders, volunteers, and other members. Survivors of abuse within the Boy Scouts often face significant internal pressure and isolation. The most important thing survivors should know is that you have legal rights independent of the organization's internal processes, and confidentiality or cover-ups by leadership do not erase your right to seek justice.
Boy Scouts of America
The Boy Scouts of America declared Chapter 11 Bankruptcy on February 17, 2020. Following that, on May 26, 2020, the bankruptcy court established a claim bar date, which served as the final deadline for survivors of child sexual abuse by a BSA volunteer or employee to submit their claims formally. Survivors were given until November 16, 2020, to file a claim. Even though this claims bar date has elapsed, we advise survivors of scout abuse to consult with an attorney to explore their legal options.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR RIGHTS
LEGAL SUPPORT & ADVOCACY
LEGAL SUPPORT & ADVOCACY
Every state has its own laws about how long you have to take legal action (this is called a “statute of limitations”). But many states have changed their laws to give adult survivors more time.
Even if you think it’s “too late” — it might not be. We’ll help you understand your rights based on where you live, and if you want to move forward, we’ll support you through the process.
