I think there is near zero chance GSUSA sues. I believe they claimed they spent 3-5 million in litigation last time and received nothing from BSA. I expect BSA lawyers, who won the last TM lawsuit, made sure Scouting America was litigation proof. -

Here are some scouting organizations in the US that unlike the BSA serve all youth, even atheists. Navigators USA - "The Navigators USA alternative scouting program was created to include everyone, and to help each person develop their fullest potential without discrimination. We aim to establish a world without prejudice or ignorance, and to treat every person with respect, no matter their race, creed, lifestyle, or ability. Navigators USA Is A Welcoming & Secular Scouting Program" https://www.navigatorsusa.org Outdoor Service Guides (OSG) - Formerly Baden-Powell Service Organization. they changed their name too in 2021. "OSG believes that all people and all families should have an equal place in the scouting movement. We welcome scouts and their families as they come to us, and we will do our best to make scouting and its activities accessible to every child or adult who wishes to join. We welcome everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion (or no religion), or other differentiating factors. We believe that scouting is for everybody. We welcome those who have scouted a long time and those who have never tried scouting before joining us." https://outdoorserviceguides.org/ Spiral Scouts https://www.spiralscouts.org/about_us Another $0.01, -
This has been in the making for a couple years now; was probably the long term plan all along. Venturing has been coed for what, it's entire existence, and has not had problems? My pack has been crossing over female AOLs to troops in other cities for 2 years now. What I suspect will happen is that the troops that go coed will survive and the other will die; my town has 2 troops, and I suspect that the troop that pulls the trigger on coed first will be the troop that survives. -
Considering that there is an impending announcement of full co-ed troops I think national is going to drop several bombs and al-Quida everyone who has been resistant to change/modernization.

If they plan to make a change, now is the time. I'm tired of the drip, drip, drip of change causing constant controversy. Get it over with at once or never change it for 10+ years. I'm concerned that they will save this change for 2-3 years from now just when people have finally accepted the name change.
