johnsch322 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 It is a shame these documentaries did not come out 18 months ago. It may have put more public awareness and helped survivors in the bankruptcy settlements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the discovery intrinsic to bankruptcy, such documentaries would be chalked up by many as “gotcha” journalism and constitute another few months of survivors not being believed. The collective response of survivors has done far more heavy lifting than any collection of documentaries. As to journalistic quality. I think that’s a non-issue. More people can easily produce content without the editorial oversight of a media conglomerate. I find that to be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this has worked in BSA and the insurers favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trabucchi Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Can anyone point me to some guidance on how to communicate with my troop to address the recent publication of this program or the others that will likely follow? While it's easy to share good news, it's honest to share the bad news as well so it can be openly discussed. Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not (I think) a spokesperson for BSA, so be up front about that. Any ideas you communicate are your own and not the position of BSA or your council on the matter. If you want to have something to relay regarding BSA's position, reach out to your DE and SE for your council's talking points. Then, please be so kind as to share them here.

Bob I think most of the councils sent out a version of a letter that must have come from National. It didn't say much and was along the lines of this: https://www.bsacac.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Statement-on-Hulu-film.pdf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThenNow Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Apologies if already posted. I may put it on the Concealment thread, as well. It is relevant to both threads.
