(Reuters) – The Boy Scouts of America did not win support from sex-abuse victims, resulting in a $2.7 billion settlement. This could have helped the Boy Scouts of America avoid bankruptcy.

The newspaper reported that the proposed settlement for 82,200 allegations of child sexual abuse won the support of only 73% of voters, which is less than the 75% Boy Scouts wanted.
