(New York, NY) -- The Boy Scouts of America is covered for another 800-million dollars to settle sexual abuse claims.  

One of its primary insurers says it will contribute that amount. The Boy Scouts of America reached an 850-million dollar deal this summer with those claiming they were abused as children by troop leaders.  

The organization is currently going through bankruptcy. This latest move brings the total pot of money available to nearly three-billion.
