Can't use white-face, black-face or red face. Why not white-face? It would offend mimes.

Bankrupt estates routinely transfer assets. Hard to do business without doing so. They would have to be in the ordinary course of business, a question for the Trustee, subject to the Court's reasonable judgement.

In the purchase of assets alone, liabilities of the seller do not pass with the assets. WOSM does not assert IP in "scouting," an English word. after all. 150 scouting organizations exist in Germany, one of which is a WOSM member. Most include "padfinder" (scout) in their name. France has eighty scouting organizations. The Fédération du Scoutisme Français (Federation of French Scouting) is the national member of both the WOSM and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). others not belonging to those associations are: Association Française de Scouts et Guides Catholiques (Traditionalist Catholic), Scouts de Doran (Spin-off of Association Française de Scouts et Guides Catholiques ), Scouts et Guides Godefroy de Bouillon (Traditionalist Catholic, with connections to the Society of St. Pius X), Ecuyers Saint-Michel (Fencing Scouts), Fédération du Scoutisme Evangélique Français (Protestant).. The Fédération des Associations d'Anciens du Scoutisme (FAAS) is the national member of the International Scout and Guide Fellowship, a competitor of WOSM. The French members of the federation are: Les Amitiés de France Anciens Scouts et Guides (ADF), Association des Anciens Éclaireurs et Éclaireuses (A.A.E.E.), A3-Association des Anciens et Amis des Éclaireurs et Éclaireuses Israélites de France, Les Tisons, Anciens des Éclaireurs et Éclaireuses Unionistes, Réseau des Parents et Amis des Guides et Scouts de France.

Not literally. If they adopted "Ford" or "Girl Scouts of America," they would not have the right to use those words. As for the role of Bankruptcy Court in intellectual property issues, you might see: https://www.nycbar.org/pdf/report/Intelectual_Prpoerty_Assets.pdf https://www.wardandsmith.com/articles/intellectual-property-in-bankruptcy-an-overview#:~:text=Generally%2C intellectual property includes copyrights,losses to the debtor's creditors.

"The purpose of the corporation shall be to promote, through organization, and cooperation with other agencies, the ability of boys to do things for themselves and others, to train them in Scoutcraft, and to teach them patriotism, courage, self-reliance, and kindred virtues, using the methods which are now in common use by Boy Scouts." Does BSA have exclusive right to a girls program? To a "Scouts'" program? Does the Charter require anything?

This tells me the outside council may believe your council insurance will apply to your unit, even if you go outside of the council. Many beliefs turn out to be incorrect.

Parental waivers may bar suits by parents, but are generally ineffective against suits by minors, unless approved by the court having jurisdiction over the minors - often a "Family Court." Minors have no capability to enter into a contract and parents generally have no power to contract on their children's behalf. Council permission has no effect to bar liability, but lack of permission may be admissible evidence of negligence.

Passing judgment when ignorant of the facts is simple. Those who know the facts find it harder to judge.

BSA often does not follow what they teach about leadership or values.

And I do not say, expressly or in effect, that , "we fixed it years ago, so racism is not systemic." I say it's not systemic even though we did not "fix it. It's people's behavior because everywhere and in all ages, there is, sadly, fear and hatred of the "other." That human failing is not typically corrected by violence and hate, though one group may eliminate the "other" in their midst, - virtually or literally. The fear and hate seems to be mitigated by respectful behavior and human understanding learned through everyday interaction. If you think that "things" have changed only in theory, tell that to Barrack Obama and others you should be able to name, like Roscoe Robinson and Benjamin O. Davis, Jr.

Very Animal Farm; "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." BSA JLOW "Who is the leader?" Syllabus answer: "The Patrol leader." (You can tell this is from decades ago.) Real world answer even then: whoever leads.

Extended explanations of the claim of "systemic" racism by the proponents and publicists of that claim suggest to me that those proponents and publicists are using "systemic" instead of de facto or, at the least, "really bad." I lived through systemic racism - segregation of public institutions by explicit rule of law; literacy tests designed to bar Black and Hispanic voters; concentration camps; maps on the walls of bank offices with areas drawn in red lines that were barred to loans to Black persons wishing to buy a home (an early New Deal FHA program), and racial immigration quotas favoring "Whites." Registering Black voters could - and did - result in violent death while local law enforcement systematically saw nothing and did nothing. I was a voter when President Johnson, Mike Mansfield, Everett Dirksen and the Republicans hammered the Civil Rights Act past the filibuster of Harry Byrd, former Grand Cyclops of the West Virginia KKK, and the Southern Democrats. Then came the battle to pass the Voting Rights Act (1965) and to make red-lining a federal crime (1968). So when I read and hear that "nothing has changed," I recognize ignorance for what it is. And what contempt that ignorance, probably unintentionally, shows for decades of effort and courage by others, many killed in the process.. The tendency of the self-imagined "superior" types to regard themselves as owed better treatment and a status above the law is apparently part of the human condition. Oligarchy, behind whatever label, seems a very common reality in "republic," "democracy" and "socialism." The law is in the way? Game the system, hide the crimes, or simply openly Ignore the law.

The Boy Scouts of America, EIN 22-1576300, is legally classified by the Internal Revenue Service of The U.S. Treasury Department as a "Charitable Organization" under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, all donations to BSA are includable in "itemized deductions." by any itemizing taxpayer. The most recent Revenue Ruling to that effect was in November 1965, and its charity status has not been challenged by the Service.

MOVING FORWARD (MOST TYPICAL LANGUAGE BLEEPED): IT WOULD SEEM IT IS NOT PRUDENT TO EXPRESS AN OPINION DISLIKED BY BLM IN SOME AMERICAN CITIES. PERHAPS IN CAVES BY CANDLELIGHT?

Chill. I am low on the Uniform Police scale because I don't see a "uniform." If BSA restored a uniform, I would reconsider.

BSA "Sanforized" cotton shorts, shorts,, and trousers, back when there was a uniform, got softer and softer as worn and washed. After a few months, they felt great! Repeated washing of the 100% cotton short should soften it. To me, the cotton/polyester blend feels worst of the choices - slippery when you perspire and never softens.

The microfiber shirt is softer. You violate the rules "making" a BS shirt out of a different brand. "It's OK to break the rules, Honey, if we really want to." A "uniform" would all look the same. BSA ended uniforms years ago on the grounds that it would increase revenue to increase choice. Now they have a brand of assorted garments they wish you to buy

"It Happened to Me Climbing towards Kearsarge pass to resupply out Onion Valley I was closing the gap between myself and several other more traditional hikers (read large packs) when a ranger appeared on the rise 1/4 mile up the trail. He continued his decent past the traditional hikers but stopped to question me. It was obvious that he had singled me out to check for a canister because my pack was small and, had I wished to, there would have been no way to have avoided this encounter . Even though I told him that I was carrying a canister, he did not believe me and demanded to see it with the comment "Ursacks and homemade canisters are not acceptable". The bottom line is that I had to pull out one of the approved canisters or receive a fine of $150. I produced the Wild Ideas Bearicade for the ranger, who was clearly disappointed that he couldn't make an example out of what had seemed to be an irresponsible ultralite hiker. Truth be known I had been struggling with the canister issue two weeks earlier and had nearly decided to carry Tom Cohen's Ursack TKO, a bear bag made from kevlar that isn't on the approved list." http://thru-hiker.com/articles/bear_canister_bias.php

I spent four hours once helping a Crew find their bear canister down in the gulch several hundreds from their site - still closed but considerably scratched up. We had used a "balance bag" setup over the provided bear cable. We saw sign but never a bear as such.

Just as in this case, I left clicked on the "reply" space. This is what I got when I left clicked on the " button. Alas, I wish technology had not passed me by. I have no problems in the other three forums that I frequent. A question arose regarding the position of BLM on the existence of the police. Obviously, no single person speaks for such a decentralized and diverse movement. "A Black Lives Matter Philadelphia representative outlined a five-year plan for the “complete abolition” of the city’s police department. Activist YahNé Ndgo discussed her plan during a segment on Fox News Wednesday saying the police aren’t needed for communities to be safe; change is. “One of the things that we are demanding over five years is the complete abolition. We don’t want to see any police in our community,” Ndgo told Fox News in an interview Tuesday. “Over the course of those five years, it gives time for the community to begin to build what is needed. We aren’t looking to leave any kind of vacancy around the issue of safety.” SOURCE: https://www.blackenterprise.com/black-lives-matter-leader-outlines-five-year-plan-to-eliminate-police/ "WHITE SAFETY IS CANCER PREVENTION.

To what are we moving? A Rhode Island professor with a history of incendiary comments against conservatives is under fire this week for stating in so many words that the fatal shooting of a Patriot Prayer supporter during rioting Portland last month was morally justified. Loomis stated: “[Reinoehl, an ANTIFA member by his own account] killed a fascist. I see nothing wrong with it, at least from a moral perspective.”

"Where is the continuity?" In my last three troops , most kids in a NSP were from the same den. Over time, some scattered on their own initiative, but most stuck together so long as they were active in the troop. That period lasted longer in the first troop - which tent camped each month. The second troop didn't really camp out and turnover was fierce. The last troop camped almost every month, but as ad hoc "patrols." organized by the adult who served as SPL in fact. This was the troop that had "no time" for patrols.
