If it turns out that the local Scout unit did not comply with the BSA's standards, then the BSA will not support the unit or it's sponsor should they be sued, nor will the BSA's liability insurance be available.

How can the BSA's liability insurance not be available? Even if the local unit didn't comply with the BSA's standards, they were still part of the organization. The BSA is responsible for having safety guidelines. They are just as responsible for putting people in leadership positions. If those people were ignoring the rules of the BSA, shouldn't the BSA have done something about it?

Their insurance stinks anyway, I know someone who broke his arm and two years later he is still having problems with payments. It required surgery and therapy and the BSA's insurance doesn't want to pay for everything.
