Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the summary‑judgment rulings, holding that the Boy Scouts of America and the Robert Treat Council owed a duty of reasonable care in the negligent hiring and retention of their employee, and therefore the negligent‑hiring claim may proceed, while affirming that the defendants are not liable under respondeat superior because the shooting occurred outside the scope of employment.
