Questions

Survivors who were sexually abused while participating in Boy Scouts programs, and in some cases their parents or legal guardians, may file civil claims against the perpetrator and responsible organizations.

Civil claims may be brought against Boy Scouts of America (BSA), local councils, or supervising entities when they failed to properly screen, supervise, or respond to abuse.

California law allows extended timeframes for survivors of childhood sexual abuse to file civil claims. An attorney can help determine if your case meets the applicable deadlines and exceptions.

No. Civil lawsuits are separate from criminal prosecution. A civil case seeks financial accountability and institutional reform, not criminal punishment.

Compensation may include therapy and counseling costs, emotional distress, lost earning capacity, and other damages stemming from the abuse.
