Boy Scouts

In 2007, six men in Oregon sued the boy scouts of America claiming that they were abused by an assistant scout master in the 1980s. The jury got to read the internal abuse records and the plaintiffs were awarded $19 million. In 2020, recent history, y'all, the boy scouts actually declared bankruptcy while facing numerous lawsuits stemming from allegations of child sexual abuse by some scout leaders. So this has been such a rampant pattern that doesn't feel like a coincidence. You have to question what about the structure of boy scouts itself is allowing this type of abuse to thrive.
