Girl Scouts in lawsuit claim Boy Scouts will ‘marginalize’ them by rebranding
The Hill ^ | 11/06/18 | Brett Samuels

The Girl Scouts of the United States of America filed a lawsuit on Tuesday seeking to stop the Boy Scouts of America from rebranding its Boy Scouts program and referring to members simply as "Scouts."

Bloomberg reported that the Girl Scouts alleged in a trademark lawsuit that the Boy Scouts of America will "marginalize" the female organization and "erode its core brand identity" by adopting the "scouts" moniker.

The Boy Scouts of America announced last year it would allow girls to join the organization and in May, revealed its plans to rebrand the Boy Scouts program as "Scouts BSA."

In Tuesday's lawsuit, the Girl Scouts announced that the organization also has a recognized right to use "Scout," "Scouts" and "Scouting," and therefore the Boy Scouts should have to use an additional term to distinguish the two groups from one another, Bloomberg reported.

The Boy Scouts of America did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The "Scouts BSA" name is set to go into effect in February. When the change was first announced, Chief Scout Executive Mike Surbaugh said the organization had considered many possibilities before settling on the new branding.

Boys in The Boys Scouts.

Girls in The Girl Scouts.

Call The Boys Scouts The Boys Scouts.

Call The Girls Scouts The Girls Scouts.

Liberals destroy everything they allegedly want to make better for everyone.

Classic case of reaping what you sow. Looking forward to watching them self-destruct then sit among the ashes wondering what happened.

Yep. They should just merge into one “SCOUTS” group, and accept all. Really no reason for age limits, either, since people can just decide their age, gender, race, etc. on any given day.

Now the “Scouts” (formerly Boy Scouts) should start selling cookies. That should effectively drive the libs over the edge.

They are just mad they didn’t think of taking this ‘re-branding’ step first.

So glad my Scouting experience was in the 1970s. We had a great Scout Leader. Did tons of camping, canoeing, wood crafting and survival skills, as well as public service to the small town and county we lived it. Was a very positive and educational experience.

Feminazis don’t want any boys in their cult. Not even trannies.

What a disgrace. My son joined the Boy Scouts at age 6 along with my two nephews. They all remained members until 18 and made Eagle Scout. No better upbringing for them. My son got to do many things he would never have been able to do with the BSA.

For that reason alone (among a million others) I will never support any Democrat and they can burn in hell!
