Dallas – 22 October 2024
1. Various of Boy Scouts Art Collection
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Aviva Lehmann, Heritage Auctions:
“Many artists were really involved in sort of cementing the culture and the vision of the Boy Scouts. Over 70, 80 years or more.”
3. Various of expert showing Norman Rockwell art
4. UPSOUND (English) Aviva Lehmann, Heritage Auctions:
“You’ve got this incredible imagery where there’s color, design and form covering all corners of the composition. You’re caught in a film still of a movie truly when you see this work.”
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Aviva Lehmann, Heritage Auction:
“As as long as the Boy Scouts have been in existence, their art has been an incredibly important part of the story.”
6. Various of Boy Scouts art collection
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Barbara Houser, Settlement Fund Trustee:

8. Various of Norman Rockwell artwork on display at auction site
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Barbara Houser, Settlement Fund Trustee:
“Many of these survivors have been waiting decades literally, for there to be some recognition of what happened to them formally. “
10. Various of Boy Scouts art collection
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Barbara Houser, Settlement Fund Trustee:
“There have been millions of young boys who have gone through the scouting program, many of whom had wonderful experiences in scouting. Unfortunately, 82,000 men and perhaps more, and some women, did not have that same experience. So the idea that an iconic art collection that the Boy Scouts had assembled over many years is being liquidated in order to pay survivors’ recoveries and to bring them some measure of justice, I think is is very significant.”

STORYLINE:
Works from the Boy Scouts of America’s art collection — including some paintings by Norman Rockwell — will go up for auction this month to help compensate tens of thousands of people, mainly men, who were sexually abused while in scouting.
Heritage Auctions in Dallas will offer up more than two dozen works, the beginning of the expected sale of over 300 pieces in the coming years.
This year, the 114-year-old Boy Scouts of America announced it is rebranding to Scouting America, a change intended to signal a commitment to inclusivity.
