It has been brough to my attention that the BSA has a Congressional Charter making it illegal for other youth groups to have “Scout” in their name or say they engage in “Scouting.”
Time to end the Charter. They also get special tax treatment in almost all (if not all) states. Time to end it.
You are what i s wrong with conservatives. Chicken crap.....cowards, turncoats, run away runaway runaway.
Sanctimonious self righteous trumps goodness and bravery. That is worse than the queers, cowardice in the face of the enemy
You have become the enemy
BSA was granted the charter in 1916. And yes, you are right. However, Girl Scouts-USA were granted their charter in 1950. Amid dissatisfaction with the system, the subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee decided to discontinue issuing Congrssional charters in 1992. BSA still honors the terms of its charter, primarily delivering an annual report to members of Congress. The Baden-Powell Scout Association became a registered corporation in the U.S. and was issued federal non-profit organization status, operating the 1st Tarrant Scout Group in TX.
