Scouts Honor: The Secret Files of the Boy Scouts of America

Scouts Honor (2023) is a documentary investigation you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Brian Knappenberger.

On camera are people who grew up inside the troop system and insiders who stayed silent for years. Together they piece out what the Boy Scouts of America kept in sealed cabinets: thousands of files naming leaders pulled for harming kids, and an apparatus built to guard the brand rather than the children inside it. The film moves from first-person testimony to the court records that pushed the organization into bankruptcy.

It's a heavy watch with no scored melodrama or staged reenactments — the voices and the paperwork carry it. Knappenberger isn't chasing one villain; he's tracing the machinery of a cover-up. If you come to true crime for substance over shock, start here. Stream Scouts Honor online on iFILM.
