Scout’s Shame: Exposing the Boy Scouts’ Perversion Files

Client: Morley Tulip
Category: Youth Organization Abuse
Start Date: April 10
End Date: Ongoing
Tag: Institutional Negligence
Budgets: $150,000.00 USD

Morley Tulip was abused by his Scoutmaster during camping trips. This case helped expose the Boy Scouts’ “perversion files” system that protected predators instead of children.

The Abuse

Over three years, Morley endured escalating abuse during overnight trips. The BSA had received prior complaints about this leader but failed to act.

BSA's Defenses

  • Claimed no knowledge of this specific abuse
  • Argued their policies were sufficient
  • Invoked bankruptcy protections

Our Breakthroughs

  1. Unsealed Perversion Files: Showing prior complaints
  2. Expert Analysis: Of grooming techniques
  3. Pattern Evidence: From other victims
  4. Organizational Charts: Proving knowledge went to top levels

Challenges

  • BSA bankruptcy complications
  • Expired statutes of limitation
  • Corporate PR machine

Current Status

We’ve secured $2.3 million from the BSA settlement trust while continuing to fight for institutional reforms.
