Subject: Re: [hackerspaces] Fwd: boy scouts suing hacker scouts<br><br><div>Unfortunately "The Boy Scouts have held a congressional charter since 1916 that gives the organization the "exclusive right to use emblems, badges, descriptive or designating marks, and words or phrases" that it adopts. Groups such as the Girl Scouts of the USA, Red Cross and Little League Baseball have similar protection." </div>
