Dallas-based Heritage Auctions will sell iconic Boy Scouts artwork to raise money for thousands of Boy Scouts of America abuse victims. Why it matters: Over 80,000 individuals — from minors to people in their 90s — have reported experiencing sexual abuse when they were part of Boy Scouts of America.

The Boy Scouts of America, once a symbol of American youth, is facing a dark chapter in its history. In a shocking announcement, the organization revealed plans to auction off iconic artwork to fund a settlement for victims of sexual abuse.

The Irving-based Boy Scouts of America is auctioning its iconic art collection next month, including four Norman Rockwell paintings valued at over $100,000 each. Proceeds will benefit more than 64,000 survivors of childhood sexual abuse in scouting.
