flag The U.S. Supreme Court let stand a $2.4 billion settlement resolving Boy Scouts sex abuse claims, blocking further legal challenges.

flag The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to review the $2.4 billion bankruptcy settlement resolving sex abuse claims against the Boy Scouts of America, allowing the agreement to stand. flag The decision, announced on January 12, 2026, upholds a lower court ruling that shields non-bankrupt organizations like churches and local councils from future lawsuits, despite objections from 75 survivors who argued the immunity was unfair. flag The settlement, approved in 2022 after the organization filed for bankruptcy in 2020 amid a surge of abuse claims, created a trust fund to compensate survivors and enabled the group to reorganize. flag Lower courts and the Supreme Court’s prior actions have preserved the deal, with supporters citing the need for finality and stability in large-scale bankruptcy resolutions. flag The outcome ensures the settlement remains in effect, with no further federal legal challenge.
