John-in-KC Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Nobody "owns" Scouting. Not true. In the current system of the Boy Scouts of America, the Chartered Partner actually owns a license to provide Scouting to units it creates under its auspices. I'm not saying right or wrong (see other debates on what BSA gives us), but it's reality. Some day, some chartered partner will sue BSA over territorial rights. Mark my words.

TAHAWK Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 The CO is a franchise-holder. BSA issues the franchise. Think of McDonald's Corporation vs Joe, who has a McDonald's store in Erie, PA.. Only Joe runs his store to do good works by employing the staff there. He is not nearly as interested in the store as those staff. Anyone can be sued for anything. Satan has been sued, as has God. Sue away. "Scouting," on the other paw, is a world-wide volunteer movement. What are we going to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
