The Boy Scout sexual abuse case

The Boy Scout sexual abuse case refers to numerous allegations and legal actions involving the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) due to widespread sexual abuse of minors by scout leaders and volunteers over several decades. Many victims came forward, revealing systemic failures in protecting them and reporting abuse. This led to significant lawsuits, resulting in BSA filing for bankruptcy in 2020 to address claims from thousands of survivors. The case highlights issues of child protection, institutional responsibility, and the need for improved safeguards against abuse in youth organizations.
