'Staggering': Everett Boy Scouts face more sexual abuse lawsuits

EVERETT — Victims are suing a Snohomish County Boy Scout council, alleging systemic sexual abuse at the Fire Mountain Scout Camp in Mount Vernon decades ago.

The plaintiffs claim the Boy Scouts of America and the Everett-based Mount Baker Council allowed sexual abusers to be scoutmasters, according to the three lawsuits filed in Snohomish County Superior Court since February.

“The Mount Baker Council and the fire mountain camp had significant problems,” said Seattle-based attorney Michael Pfau, whose firm represents the defendants and other litigation against the Boy Scouts.

To date, Pfau’s firm has filed 10 sexual abuse cases against the local BSA council.

Guess I'm lucky. I was both a Boy Scout and an altar boy but never was molested.

An altar boy and a cub/Boy Scout whose troop was hosted by a Catholic Church

And unmolested, in Gig Harbor Washington

Our Elks lodge sponsored two troops but we can no longer do that for them, but I know the local scoutmasters and the kids and have for years, luckily not all troops have these horrible problems

Hell, my Mom was a Cub Scout den mother, I have nothing but good memories from those days

Luckily
