The Girl Scouts of the United States of America have filed a lawsuit against the Boy Scouts of America for removing the word “boy” from their title.
Set to be called the BSA from 2019 onwards, the group announced the new name in May as it allows for older girls to be recognised as members for the first time.
Nonetheless, the Girl Scouts say the change would be a “uniquely damaging” erosion of their brand, and the lawsuit seeks damages and an injunction against trademark breaches.
