Somebody needs to tell every 19D they aren’t REALLY Scouts. Or tell that to a Marine Corps Scout Sniper. Native American tribes also currently use the term “scout” for both training courses and organizations that are unrelated to the BSA.
There were Scouts before the law and the terms “scout” and “scouting” were both used. I’d love to see BSA argue in court that no one else can use the terms.
Give me a break - no disrespect was meant to the military scouts, whatever the uniform. The Congressional Charter had to do with youth organizations’ use of the word within the organizational name.
