Ah, the Boy Scouts—a beacon of #neglect wrapped in a new brand name! 🔥🔥 Apparently, the organization thinks a bit of #rebranding magic will solve decades of negligence. 🤦♂️ But fear not, they've got a meeting in Dallas where they’ll surely fix everything with some #PowerPoint slides and corporate jargon. 🎩✨

Lower courts, including the 3rd US Circuit Court Appeals, upheld the settlement agreement. The Lujan claimants appealed to #SCOTUS in October. SCOTUS in early 2024 rejected an emergency appeal from the same group of survivors.
Though SCOTUS did not explain its reasoning, the decision leaves in a place an appeals court decision that found that the way the #BoyScouts deal was structured largely #shielded it from review by appellate courts.

Critics of such arrangements say courts are generally not authorized to block such lawsuits. Supporters say that without protections for third-party groups, major bankruptcy deals like the ones for #Purdue & the #BoyScouts would never take effect.

In the #BoyScouts case, some of the survivors want to be able to sue independent councils that ran local scouting programs & third-party organizations, such as churches & civic groups, that supported the programs. Those third-party groups contributed billions of dollars to a #settlement trust for survivors &, under the agreement, are #shielded from future #civil #lawsuits.

The group of survivors – 75 people out of >82k who filed claims against the #BoyScouts – argued that #SCOTUS should have reopened the settlement in light of its decision last year in a similar legal dispute in involving #PurduePharma, the maker of the #opioid pain mediciation #OxyContin. In that case, a 5-4 majority rejected a bankruptcy agreement that would have shielded the #Sackler family from future lawsuits even though it made its fortune running the company.

One of the weirder moves by #Hegesth.
Personally (as both a #peace activist and a scouting alum), I think #Scouting may be better off without the military support in the long-term, but the rationale given for this is just bizarre.
The part of this that does concern me is that this policy would also bar Scout troops from meeting on military bases, a real problem for young people living on overseas military bases with a military parent. It seems unjust to deprive these kids of the opportunities of Scouting, just because because of Hegseth's gender paranoia and insecurities.
