CynicalScouter Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Quote The way to try and avoid this negative outcome is for each affected local church to file a Proof of Claim with the Bankruptcy Court. It is essential for each local church to have its board of trustees and/or administrative council, to immediately conduct a very careful review of whether the church has ever been a Charter Organization of any BSA Unit. This would explain why the Florida Methodist Churches came in recently. Remember how I previously said that this does NOT end with BSA liquidated because the Congressional Charter will save the shell? Yeah, now more than ever I believe that. The COs will throw national and especially the Councils under any and all available buses. National and the Councils are going to lose every tangible asset.

I have always been clear about that. I can understand how some people might feel differently. Edited October 28, 2020 by David CO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The COs will throw national and especially the Councils under any and all available buses. National and the Councils are going to lose every tangible asset. Actually it could be viewed the other way, National is throwing the COs under the bus. The Charter Agreement states, "Provide primary general liability insurance to cover the Chartered Organization, its board, officers, COR, employees, and Scouting members and volunteers for authorized Scouting activities. Indemnify the Chartered Organization in accordance with the resolutions and policies of the National Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America.." This needs to come up in the bankruptcy and abuse settlement. National took on this responsibility to the COs, they need to be held responsible. And of course, the insurance companies the BSA used should be held accountable for paying these claims. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was some notion that this would be limited to National and the Councils. Now, it has become clear that the plaintiffs are not going to stop with National and the Councils, the COs would be, as you imply, utter morons NOT to at least put in the claim (they all either list a price of $0 or simply leave it blank) in order to preserve their rights.

Yup. This liability to the CO's is going to be the real driver behind whether the BSA survives or not. If CO's drop their units in mass to avoid future liability, this will be the end of the BSA in it's current structure. I'm already steeling myself that National and the Council's will lose everything. If they don't I'll be pleasantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is so much ill will that could be created here among so many community groups that I don't see how scouting in any form could withstand it. Scouts is in another impossible situation but the fact that COs have had, as far as I know, practically no direct communication from National on this as it developed has probably been alarming to the ones who have been paying attention. What will happen to the ones who aren't paying attention and don't file a claim and wind up suffering losses? The Methodist church makes out OK but the AME church or VFW down the street does not? Whose moral responsibility is it to tell them to file by Nov. 16? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
