https://thehill.com/homenews/news/531712-girl-scouts-accuse-boy-scouts-of-damaging-recruitment-tacticsThe Girl Scouts organization accused the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) of "damaging" recruitment tactics after it opened its core services to girls.
On Thursday, documents were filed in federal court that seek to challenge a move by lawyers for the BSA to toss out a case of trademark infringement brought by the Girl Scouts in 2018.
The Girl Scouts of the United States of America claim that the BSA has unfairly recruited girls, according to legal filings, The Associated Press reported.
The Girl Scouts claim that the BSA's use of the terms "scouts" and "scouting" infringes on trademarks of the organization.
However, lawyers for the Boy Scouts of America have previously called the claims "utterly meritless."
