Z.K.’s legal team is seeking $5.5 million in damages, a charge for which the Boy Scouts of America has yet to comment on. This follows several other cases against the group for similar charges. The organization has only stated that it works hard to protect children and screens the volunteers who want to join the organization. This includes a review of local and national background checks before permitting someone to become a leader.
