Golden Spread Council, Inc. # 562 of the Boy Scouts of America and Boy Scouts of America, Petitioners v. Veronica…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the Boy Scouts of America owed no duty to the minor and reversed the appellate judgment on that issue, while it affirmed the appellate judgment that the Golden Spread Council owed a duty to use reasonable care in recommending a scoutmaster and remanded for trial. Justice Cornyn concurred, emphasizing the Family Code reporting duty, and Justice Enoch concurred in part and dissented in part, rejecting the newly created duty of non‑negligent referral.
