[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was Juliette Gordon Low who stole the idea from Lord Baden Powell when she first started the GSA in Savannah, GA on March 12, 1912. Powell began the Boy Scouts on January 24, 1908 on Brownsea Island. The Boy Scouts of America began on February 8, 1910.

If anything, the trademark infringement is the other way around. This is simply the desperation of the GSA trying to stem the loss of girls from their organization. Girl Scouts are doomed, and that's a good thing.[/quote]

If BSA had chosen to rebrand themselves as "Kid Scouts" or "Family Scouts" or "Scouts for children of any gender" or literally any other descriptor in front of the "Scouts" work, then GSUSA wouldn't have a leg to stand on and you could consider this sour grapes.
But they didn't.  By calling themselves simply "Scouts" they're trying to send the signle that they are the one and only scouting organization in the US.  Which factually incorrect and easily leads to confusion by the general public.
I think GS will probably win this suit.

As for the doomed portion of your post... my guess is you actually know nothing about Girl Scouts.  
And I have no idea why you would care if Girl Scouts continues to exist or not.  I'm not a big fan of short distance track -  I hate running in circles and think it's a stupid thing to do.  But if other people like it, bully for them.  Why in the world would I want to destroy something I'm not even part of?[/quote]
