Fedor v. Mauwehu Council, Boy Scouts of America, Inc.

This is an action brought by a minor boy through his father to recover damages for personal injuries suffered by the plaintiff while he was attending a Boy Scout camp and claimed to have been caused by defendant’s negligent supervision of the camp. Defendant filed a special defense to the complaint alleging that plaintiff, through his father as next friend, had signed, as a condition of attending the camp, a waiver of any and all claims for damages in the event of injury, specifically and completely absolving the defendant. To this special defense plaintiff has demurred on several grounds.
