Timeline Set for Victims to File Claims to Receive Compensation in BSA’s Case

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and the committees representing survivors of past abuse in Scouting and unsecured creditors have agreed on a bar date of November 16, 2020, creating a window for victims of abuse to file claims in the BSA’s bankruptcy case. The BSA is committed to compensating victims through its restructuring and this is an important milestone in meeting that imperative. The bar date sets a clear timeline for victims to come forward and later seek compensation from the BSA’s proposed compensation trust. The BSA encourages all victims to file a claim and will be providing extensive noticing to ensure that there is a clear process for them to do so.
