Contributed $800M to settlement fund

The Supreme Court declined to review a $2.4 billion Boy Scouts bankruptcy settlement on January 12, 2026, ending a six-year legal saga and cementing one of the largest sexual abuse settlements in U.S. history. Over 82,000 survivors filed claims alleging decades of abuse.
