Nearly 8,000 Boy Scout® Leaders have been accused of sexual abuse according to newly released records. Details of the abuse and a blacklist of alleged abusers are contained in what is now known as the "Perversion Files". These files have been hidden from the public for over 100 years in an effort to avoid scrutiny.

Due to new laws, there are no statute of limitations for cases of abuse. Although the Boy Scouts® of America have filed for bankruptcy, a victim's fund has been established to provide equitable compensation for victims.

If you were abused by a leader of the Boy Scouts®, you are not alone. Those who have been abused as a Boy Scout®, Cub Scout®, or Explorer Scout® may be eligible for significant compensation.
