One lingering issue is how the remaining claims will be reviewed to determine such things as which are valid. Boy Scouts of America proposes to address that after a plan is accepted. Groups representing survivors have filed a motion to allow claims to be tested and their values determined before they agree to a reorganization plan.

The Boy Scouts has said it is fully committed to providing equitable compensation to survivors.

"The Boy Scouts of America filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to achieve two key imperatives: equitably compensate survivors who were harmed during their time in Scouting and continue to carry out Scouting’s mission for years to come," the organization said in a recent statement.
