Supreme Court Declines Review of Boy Scouts $2.4 Billion Abuse Settlement

The settlement creates a victims' compensation trust and grants legal immunity to contributing organizations, affecting over 82,000 claimants, including 75 survivors in Guam.

  • On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review a $2.4 billion bankruptcy settlement for the Boy Scouts of America, rejecting an October appeal from the Lujan claimants.
  • The Boy Scouts of America filed for bankruptcy in 2020 after spending more than $150 million to settle abuse suits, and a 2022 Delaware reorganization created a fund to pay victims.
  • Seventy-Five of more than 82,000 claimants pressed the appeal and sought emergency relief rejected in early 2024, while some victims want to sue local councils and third-party groups.
  • The justices left in place an appeals-court ruling that largely shielded the Boy Scouts settlement from review, preserving the trust while critics and supporters dispute courts’ authority and protections.
