Eleven-year-old Keoni Hubbard tragically lost his life in a boating accident while at a Boy Scouts camp in New Hampshire in July 2023. The Hubbard family has since filed a lawsuit against the Boy Scouts of America and its Daniel Webster Council, claiming negligence in training and supervision. The lawsuit alleges that an 18-year-old counselor, who had minimal training and had just received his boating license, operated the boat that ultimately struck and killed Keoni while he was swimming in the lake. The family’s lawyers argue that camp leaders failed to follow safety rules and put the counselor and Scouts in a dangerous situation.
The lawsuit seeks justice for Keoni’s death and aims to hold the Boy Scouts accountable for the tragic incident. Keoni is remembered as a kind and good person who touched the lives of many. The family hopes to prevent similar accidents in the future by advocating for improved water safety programs for all Boy Scouts in America. The lawsuit is ongoing, with the family seeking a verdict in excess of $100 million.
