Read full article: Girl Scouts rebuke Boy Scouts in escalating recruitment warThey called the lawsuit āutterly meritless.āThe Boy Scouts on Saturday pointed to legal arguments in which it blames the Girl Scouts for reacting to its expansion plans with āanger and alarmā and said the Girl Scouts launched a āground warā to spoil plans by the Boy Scouts to include more girls. āAs a result of Boy Scoutsā infringement, parents have mistakenly enrolled their daughters in Boy Scouts thinking it was Girl Scouts,ā the lawyers said, adding that this never occurred before 2018. The lawyers for Girl Scouts said Boy Scouts councils in Illinois acknowledged improperly using the Girl Scoutsā slogan in Cub Scout recruiting materials and pictures of Girl Scouts to promote a Boy Scouts āScouts Sign-Up Night!āThey said a western Massachusetts Boy Scouts council posted a recruiting flyer on Facebook including a photograph of a girl depicted in her Girl Scouts Brownie uniform. Meanwhile, Ohio Boy Scouts used the Girl Scouts trademark to try to get a local newspaper to write an article, suggesting a storyline entitled āBoy and Girl Scouts Looking for Membersā even though the recruitment involved only the Boy Scouts, the lawyers said. In Seattle, a Boy Scouts council used the Girl Scouts trademark in social media recruiting materials, the lawyers said.
