BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

Due to the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy filing by the Boys Scouts of America, Catholic Mutual strongly recommends that Boy Scout Troops operating within a parish to be structured as an “Unaffiliated Organization Agreement” with a “Facility Usage Agreement” also in place. This will lessen the administrative requirements on the parish, and provide greater protection in the event of an insurance claim.

Facility Usage Indemnity Agreement – Boy Scouts of America

If a parish is willing to take on the additional administrative burden of sponsoring a Boy Scout Troop under a traditional “Charter” Agreement, then the parish can enter into an Affiliation Agreement with their Boy Scout Troop. CAUTION:  Before signing the Affiliation Agreement, the parish/pastor should read this agreement in its entirety, paying particular attention to Section III, to ascertain all of the parish administrative requirements contained in that section.
