As we previously advised, in mid-May the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit dismissed the widest ranging appeals of the Bankruptcy Court’s plan confirmation order, which had been filed by a small group of dissenting sexual abuse Survivors and holdout insurance companies. The small group of dissenting sexual abuse Survivors filed a motion for rehearing en banc with the Third Circuit, seeking to have the entire Court review the three-judge panel’s May 13 decision dismissing their appeal. The Third Circuit denied the motion for rehearing en banc on June 13, 2025.
The next step in the appeals process is to try to have the Third Circuit’s decision reviewed by the United States Supreme Court. On Friday, August 30, 2025, a small group of dissenting sexual abuse Survivors filed a motion to extend the time for them to seek review by the Supreme Court. They asked that the deadline to seek further review be extended for 60 days—until November 10, 2025. Certain sexual abuse Survivors and Scouting America opposed the length of the requested extension. On September 4, 2025, Justice Alito granted a 30-day extension, which means that the time to seek further review by the Supreme Court will run on October 13, 2025.
This further delay means that the funds necessary for a second distribution from the Trust to Survivors with allowed claims will remain in escrow until all appeals are exhausted and the plan confirmation order becomes a final order.
In the meantime, the Trust’s essential work of determining claims and providing an initial distribution to Survivors of sexual abuse in Scouting with allowed claims will continue without interruption.
The Trust will keep Survivors and counsel apprised as further developments occur.
This is actually a good thing for ALL surviving Victims of the Boy Scouts of America Bankruptcy. To my understanding, as a Pro Se victim, who has reviewed over 10,000 documents, spent over 5,000 hours on this case, the Guam cases were the worst of the worst because the Catholic Dioces moved their repeat offenders to Guam, as well as that is where the DoD shipped their predator seaman to finish their enlistment terms. What Mrs. Lujan Wolff is doing is actually the best thing for all victims.

Counsel for Applicants Lujan Claimants filed a Stay for the BSA Plan in Judge Alito’s Court on February 7, 2024, stating among other things:
The irreparable harm that Abuse Claimants would suffer absent a stay of the bankruptcy plan—the loss of their ability to pursue their sexual abuse claims against third parties due to the equitable mootness doctrine—far outweighs any other harm the parties may suffer.
By granting certiorari and issuing a stay in Purdue Pharma this Court recognized that any harm that may result from staying the bankruptcy plan’s implementation is outweighed by the risk that claimants such as the opioid victims in that case and the sexual abuse victims in this case will lose their right to pursue their claims independently of the bankruptcy settlement trust.
