BinTharDunThat Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) @Eagle1993 Not disagreeing with you that the smartest action would be to have the most likely challenger on board before the filing and before any announcement Would you have had the same assumption before the BSA filed its recent round of trademarks and was challenged by GSUSA? Settlement Agreement between the parties is found in this filing as Exhibit 1. https://casedocs.omniagentsolutions.com/cmsvol2/pub_47373/b530ab19-6224-4f25-af12-fa7a92aa4b01_10117.pdf One wonders what the BSA will do if the trademark applications are rejected or successfully challenged in an administrative or judicial forum.

mrjohns2 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Why not Scouts of America? Just drop the boy. I think the name change is dumb and should have been done, if it was going to be done, 5 years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashTagScouts Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Now that the rebrand notification is dropping, there are other changes that will begin to be announced. One came from the NAM. As of September 1st, there will officially be a pilot for a "combined troop" option. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to have felt more confidence in Scouting America than say Scouting USA re: litigation challenges. They already have logos for Scouting America that I have seen shared in screen shots.

InquisitiveScouter Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 And the barrage continues: https://m.email.scouting.org/rest/head/mirrorPage/@JAZoPn36nBGBwnSUwO9VYxp-uHhpwWPo3y6pE3GABf3-FGCOpsM-PFMe2BwqlMkxmXgNjOeyH0nzZ-YXNBXB1D9e_GIOmayLB-o7V-Xm_-tVOCZ7.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashTagScouts Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 @InquisitiveScouter Here's the text of that message: An announcement was made today during the BSA National Annual Meeting regarding Scouts BSA. The BSA has received feedback through member surveys, councils, and other sources that have encouraged a third option be made available to serve youth and their families interested in Scouting. This option would be a “combined troop” option to help serve all youth and families that wish to participate in Scouting guided by the Scout Oath and Law. The National Executive Committee (NEC) has authorized the Scouts BSA Committee to conduct a limited pilot from September 1, 2024, through July 2025. The Scouts BSA Committee will collect feedback from participants and make a recommendation based on the data on the program to the NEC in 2025. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
