The church “must be held accountable in order to bring healing and closure to Mormon victims of childhood sexual abuse,” Hurley McKenna & Mertz, a law firm that focuses on church sex abuse, said in a statement.

Public records show members of church-sponsored Boy Scout troops who were abused would tell church bishops about what they had experienced.

In Seattle, a Boy Scouts council used the Girl Scouts trademark in social media recruiting materials, the lawyers said.

The Boy Scouts’ insurers also will be contributing, as will the Boy Scouts’ roughly 260 local councils and companies that insured them in the past. “We are deeply sorry.”The bankruptcy has been painful for the 110-year-old Boy Scouts, which has been a pillar of American civic life for generations.
