OT Girl Scouts sue Boy Scouts because they dropped "Boy" from their name

[EL PRESIDENTE]

The Girl Scouts of the United States of America filed suit against the Boy Scouts on Monday for trademark infringement for dropping the word "boy" from its flagship program in an effort to attract girls.

According to the complaint, "such misconduct will not only cause confusion among the public, damage the goodwill of GSUSA's Girl Scouts trademarks, and erode its core brand identity, but it will also marginalize the Girl Scouts Movement by causing the public to believe that GSUSA's extraordinarily successful services are not true or official 'Scouting' programs, but niche services with limited utility and appeal."



The Girls Scouts say it has already been damaged by the name change announcement, saying that "throughout the country, families, schools and communities have been told that GSUSA and BSA have merged, or even that GSUSA no longer exists."

"Parents interested in signing up for Girl Scouts programs have instead mistakenly signed up for the new girls' programs offered by BSA," the complaint said.

The Girl Scouts, as well as other youth organizations, have also seen a decline in membership in recent years due to conflicting family schedules, sports leagues, and other extracurricular activities.

No chance. GSUSA would have to share all that sweet, sweet cookie revenue with the bro scouts. Not happening.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

because girl power.

 

[barfo]

Bro Scouts will respond to lawsuit by saying that maybe someone did damage the Girl Scouts trademark, but they are mistaken about who it was, and they have no corroborating witnesses.

Dog Scouts! Finally a merit badge for licking yourself!

This whole concept of Men not being able to have their own associations, brotherhoods, clubs, lodges is ridiculous. And I tell my three daughters that and they agree. Again, the radical lefty weirdoes are behind all this shit. Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts should be separate. And most classy and confident women would agree with this. Its the radical few that try and change the course of things.

 

[santeesioux]

The non gender conforming scouts of the world, maaaaaaan.

No, it's Mexico.

It is a small part of North America, but only the United States of America is America.

You really need to buy a globe.
