US EditionScouting America Statement on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit Decision
- On May 13, 2025, Scouting America, based in Irving, Texas, released a statement regarding the recent ruling by the federal appellate court handling the Third Circuit, which upheld the dismissal of appeals connected to the abuse claims settlement.
- A limited number of opposing claimants and certain insurance companies that had not agreed to the settlement challenged the Bankruptcy Court’s plan that created the Settlement Trust in April 2023 by filing appeals.
- The Settlement Trust, with a valuation of $2.4 billion, has provided financial payments totaling over $138 million to nearly 20,000 individuals who survived abuse and continues to play a crucial role in offering uninterrupted compensation.
- The court dismissed the broadest appeals, thereby confirming that the Trust can proceed with its mission, reflecting over five years of dedicated efforts by survivors and involved parties.
- This decision allows Scouting America to continue its mission of preparing youth as responsible citizens and leaders under the Scout Oath and Law, while additional contributions from unsettled insurers remain possible.
