A federal judge has tossed out a lawsuit in which the Girl Scouts claim that the Boy Scouts is creating marketplace confusion and damaging recruitment efforts through use of words such as 'scouts' and 'scouting.'
Manhattan Federal Judge Alvin Hellerstein said in a 29-page decision that the Boy Scouts are within rights to adopt the gender-neutral term “scouting” without putting the word “boy” before it even if it confuses parents looking to enroll their daughters in the Girl Scouts.
