This is many of the same people who hired attorneys that are said to be the best in the business for the needs of the BSA and then followed their advice. That seems to be a valued strategy for other parties as it should be for the BSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said this was signed in 1991. It was probably paper and put away in a filing cabinet. The individuals who were involved are likely dead or long retired. BSA has been pretty clear as to restricted vs unrestricted property. My guess is that this is a surprise. Also, the objectors could be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe the lawyers should alter the scout oath to "honest and trustworthy as my legal powers approves". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rockwell collection being part of the settlement has been known for at least the last two years and Brown and Bigelow only just found out? Surely, they would have contacted the BSA and their lawyers before today to make them aware of the agreement. Instead, they had to go to the DOJ trustee and ask him to file an objection at the 11th hour to file an objection on their behalf....hmmmm?

Wëlënakwsu Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 My quick internet Docket search identify Brown & Bigelow as a Contract Counterparty as early as April, 2020 (maybe earlier). Found one reference listing the Artwork Agreement as an Executory Contract in a November 2021 Filing. My guess... BSA and B&B have known for awhile about the Agreement which covers what might be the few things ,besides camps, the BSA could sell and not effect program. If disclosed... it'll be interesting to learn the Agreement terms, what the disagreement is and how much money potentially involved. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle1993 Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) TCC just filed an objection under seal. Based on the title it is about the value of abuse claims. Edited February 10, 2022 by Eagle1993 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know most of the upper management and National Executive Board personally. They are bright, hard-working, dedicated to Scouting, and honorable. My guess is that the contracts were executed long ago - in the 19 teens or twenties. That the contracts have been misplaced or lost over the many decades and many moves of the national service center. I would further posit that volunteers who wish to see the BSA retain the Norman Rockwell collection have been scouring the landscape for a way to do so. They could have asked Brown and Bigelow to search their files for anything that might allow the collection to be removed from sale due to Chapter 11. I would further posit that Brown and Bigelow did not know that they had the agreement. Clearly, this is only conjecture based on no information. However, incompetence or dishonesty are not in my opinion as likely as other explanations by knowing the people involved. They covered up the sex abuse Protected the ones that done it for over 100 years SO EXCUSE ME IF WHILE I PUT DOWN THOSE SUIT AND TIES YOU CLAIM TO BE GREAT OUTATANDING PEOPLE. THEY WILL GET NO MERCY FROM ME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to be a cult member not to question this drumbeat of poor decision making and lack of oversight. You can be bright and lack common sense. You can be hard working, but be working at the wrong things. You can be both honorable and incompetent. I can no longer buy into the idea that hundreds of people in National leadership have been completely vicitimized and outwitted over the years by chartering organizations and insurance companies and wiley predators and uncooperative parents and police officers and pesky donors with agendas and now... Some dastardly file clerk at a calendar company who hid an agreement? I think a lot of people who truly loved scouting once want better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
