The Boy Scouts file for bankruptcy after hundreds of sexual abuse lawsuits. The Summer camps and programs continue while attorneys battle over how #BSA divvies up assets between the national organization, which will be paying victims, and local councils, which are not part of the bankruptcy.
Is it ironic that an American institution like Boy Scouts declares bankruptcy for its 110 year anniversary? The following figures reportedly show the impact of the organization.
71% of high school football captains are Boy Scouts.
98% of Scouts graduate from high school; compare that with others.
33% of Scouts earn far more money than most others.
82% of Rhode’s Scholars are/were former Scouts.
20 out of 21 of the original astronauts were Eagle Scouts.
American children of scouting ages may be better prepared to help reduce crime, drugs, violence and broken families than those youths who do not. All that in addition to learning skills, indoor and outdoor activities.
