They announced a name change right around the time they exited the BSA. -
My son is in Boy Scouts, and they way he is growing, you are insane if you think I am going to buy him BSA uniform pants every six months. I have a hard enough time keeping him in pants for school, so $120 for pants for one day a week and several weekend events is not going to happen. His shirt is squared away 100%, but there has to be some realism here. And BSA socks - what is the point. Even the military does not tell you brand of sock to buy. Common sense is allowed. my story of the early late 70’s/80’s is this - I was not allowed to wear my scout shorts and the scout socks we bought for summer camp In Mississippi), because I did not have the tabs that went with them. Did not have them at our local JC Penny, did not have them at camp. Too bad - long pants for me at camp (100 degrees, humidity, etc). One of the reasons that I dropped from scouts (along with weekly uniform inspections). The troop I was in before in Europe, the one that was amazing and everyone wanted to be in, no one cared abOut your uniform socks or pants. what is the priority? What is the intent and lesson? What is the return on investment for the scout? -

Yeah, I’ve frankly never seen it outside of discussions of the BSA bankruptcy. But, when in Rome . . . 🙂 -
Thank you for the answer !!!!! Wow. Even if two or three legal entities, those are massive deep, deep pockets to sue. .... FYI ... I periodically have to look up TCJC. It's not a common abbreviation for LDS without LDS tacked on. -

Yes. There is a single corporation sole out of Salt Lake City that holds the deed to every LDS meetinghouse [actually two or three, but they are all indisputably under the control of the church’s central governing body]. All member donations are forwarded to Salt Lake City each week, and the central church leadership then turns around and funds each congregation’s annual operating budget on a per capita basis. All congregational bishops, too, are individually formally approved by Salt Lake prior to their ordination. (That’s how it works in the LDS Church within the USA, anyways. Other countries may run a little differently depending on laws governing nonprofit operation, restrictions on international funds transfers, and so on. But to the extent legally possible, the church’s operations up to and including its financial holdings are very tightly controlled out of Salt Lake. A financial judgment against one congregation is effectually a financial judgment against all of them.)
