Parents Are Suing The Middle Tennessee Boy Scouts Of America For Their Son's Death

The Lawsuit Alleges The Boy Scouts Were Negligent In Their Supervision Of The Child

The parents of a boy who died in a jet ski crash in 2021 are suing the Middle Tennessee Boy Scouts of America (BSA). The lawsuit alleges that the Boy Scouts were negligent in their supervision of the child.

The incident occurred on July 23, 2021, at Camp Boxwell in Centerville, Tennessee. The boy, who was 13 years old, was riding a jet ski when he crashed into a dock. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The lawsuit, which was filed in Davidson County Circuit Court, alleges that the Boy Scouts were negligent in their supervision of the child. The lawsuit claims that the Boy Scouts failed to provide adequate supervision of the child, failed to properly train the child on how to operate a jet ski, and failed to provide the child with a life jacket.

The lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages. The Boy Scouts have not yet filed a response to the lawsuit.
