Boy Scouts Auction Art to Compensate Abuse Survivors

The sale of historic Boy Scouts artwork, including Norman Rockwell pieces, raises millions for victims' compensation.

The first auction of Boy Scouts of America's art collection generated over $3.7 million to aid survivors of sexual abuse.
The auction featured 25 pieces, including works by Norman Rockwell, and total sales reached over $4.6 million with premiums.
A bankruptcy plan filed in 2020 allows the Boy Scouts to operate while compensating over 82,000 abuse claimants.
The art sale is part of a broader effort to fund the $2.4 billion settlement trust, which also includes insurance and property sales.
The organization is rebranding as Scouting America, aiming to promote inclusivity by welcoming girls and LGBTQ+ members.
