  1. Can't use white-face, black-face or red face. Why not white-face? It would offend mimes.
  2. Bankrupt estates routinely transfer assets. Hard to do business without doing so. They would have to be in the ordinary course of business, a question for the Trustee, subject to the Court's reasonable judgement.
  3. In the purchase of assets alone, liabilities of the seller do not pass with the assets. WOSM does not assert IP in "scouting," an English word. after all. 150 scouting organizations exist in Germany, one of which is a WOSM member. Most include "padfinder" (scout) in their name. France has eighty scouting organizations. The Fédération du Scoutisme Français (Federation of French Scouting) is the national member of both the WOSM and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). others not belonging to those associations are: Association Française de Scouts et Gui
  4. Not literally. If they adopted "Ford" or "Girl Scouts of America," they would not have the right to use those words. As for the role of Bankruptcy Court in intellectual property issues, you might see: https://www.nycbar.org/pdf/report/Intelectual_Prpoerty_Assets.pdf https://www.wardandsmith.com/articles/intellectual-property-in-bankruptcy-an-overview#:~:text=Generally%2C intellectual property includes copyrights,losses to the debtor's creditors.
  5. "The purpose of the corporation shall be to promote, through organization, and cooperation with other agencies, the ability of boys to do things for themselves and others, to train them in Scoutcraft, and to teach them patriotism, courage, self-reliance, and kindred virtues, using the methods which are now in common use by Boy Scouts." Does BSA have exclusive right to a girls program? To a "Scouts'" program? Does the Charter require anything?
  6. This tells me the outside council may believe your council insurance will apply to your unit, even if you go outside of the council. Many beliefs turn out to be incorrect.
  7. Parental waivers may bar suits by parents, but are generally ineffective against suits by minors, unless approved by the court having jurisdiction over the minors - often a "Family Court." Minors have no capability to enter into a contract and parents generally have no power to contract on their children's behalf. Council permission has no effect to bar liability, but lack of permission may be admissible evidence of negligence.
  8. Passing judgment when ignorant of the facts is simple. Those who know the facts find it harder to judge.
  9. BSA often does not follow what they teach about leadership or values.
  10. And I do not say, expressly or in effect, that , "we fixed it years ago, so racism is not systemic." I say it's not systemic even though we did not "fix it. It's people's behavior because everywhere and in all ages, there is, sadly, fear and hatred of the "other." That human failing is not typically corrected by violence and hate, though one group may eliminate the "other" in their midst, - virtually or literally. The fear and hate seems to be mitigated by respectful behavior and human understanding learned through everyday interaction. If you think that "things" have changed only
  11. Very Animal Farm; "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." BSA JLOW "Who is the leader?" Syllabus answer: "The Patrol leader." (You can tell this is from decades ago.) Real world answer even then: whoever leads.
  12. Extended explanations of the claim of "systemic" racism by the proponents and publicists of that claim suggest to me that those proponents and publicists are using "systemic" instead of de facto or, at the least, "really bad." I lived through systemic racism - segregation of public institutions by explicit rule of law; literacy tests designed to bar Black and Hispanic voters; concentration camps; maps on the walls of bank offices with areas drawn in red lines that were barred to loans to Black persons wishing to buy a home (an early New Deal FHA program), and racial immigration quot
  13. The Boy Scouts of America, EIN 22-1576300, is legally classified by the Internal Revenue Service of The U.S. Treasury Department as a "Charitable Organization" under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, all donations to BSA are includable in "itemized deductions." by any itemizing taxpayer. The most recent Revenue Ruling to that effect was in November 1965, and its charity status has not been challenged by the Service.
  14. MOVING FORWARD (MOST TYPICAL LANGUAGE BLEEPED): IT WOULD SEEM IT IS NOT PRUDENT TO EXPRESS AN OPINION DISLIKED BY BLM IN SOME AMERICAN CITIES. PERHAPS IN CAVES BY CANDLELIGHT?
  15. Chill. I am low on the Uniform Police scale because I don't see a "uniform." If BSA restored a uniform, I would reconsider.
  16. BSA "Sanforized" cotton shorts, shorts,, and trousers, back when there was a uniform, got softer and softer as worn and washed. After a few months, they felt great! Repeated washing of the 100% cotton short should soften it. To me, the cotton/polyester blend feels worst of the choices - slippery when you perspire and never softens.
  17. The microfiber shirt is softer. You violate the rules "making" a BS shirt out of a different brand. "It's OK to break the rules, Honey, if we really want to." A "uniform" would all look the same. BSA ended uniforms years ago on the grounds that it would increase revenue to increase choice. Now they have a brand of assorted garments they wish you to buy

  19. "It Happened to Me Climbing towards Kearsarge pass to resupply out Onion Valley I was closing the gap between myself and several other more traditional hikers (read large packs) when a ranger appeared on the rise 1/4 mile up the trail. He continued his decent past the traditional hikers but stopped to question me. It was obvious that he had singled me out to check for a canister because my pack was small and, had I wished to, there would have been no way to have avoided this encounter . Even though I told him that I was carrying a canister, he did not believe me and demanded to see it with the
  20. I spent four hours once helping a Crew find their bear canister down in the gulch several hundreds from their site - still closed but considerably scratched up. We had used a "balance bag" setup over the provided bear cable. We saw sign but never a bear as such.
  21. Just as in this case, I left clicked on the "reply" space. This is what I got when I left clicked on the " button. Alas, I wish technology had not passed me by. I have no problems in the other three forums that I frequent. A question arose regarding the position of BLM on the existence of the police. Obviously, no single person speaks for such a decentralized and diverse movement. "A Black Lives Matter Philadelphia representative outlined a five-year plan for the “complete abolition” of the city’s police department. Activist YahNé Ndgo discussed her p
  22. Thanks you for your observation on quotations and citing sources - which observation does not appear when I click "Quote" beneath it. Instead the above quotation appears, as you see. I will try harder to be clear on what are quotations and the source(s) of those quotations.

  23. To what are we moving? A Rhode Island professor with a history of incendiary comments against conservatives is under fire this week for stating in so many words that the fatal shooting of a Patriot Prayer supporter during rioting Portland last month was morally justified. Loomis stated: “[Reinoehl, an ANTIFA member by his own account] killed a fascist. I see nothing wrong with it, at least from a moral perspective.”
  24. "Where is the continuity?" In my last three troops , most kids in a NSP were from the same den. Over time, some scattered on their own initiative, but most stuck together so long as they were active in the troop. That period lasted longer in the first troop - which tent camped each month. The second troop didn't really camp out and turnover was fierce. The last troop camped almost every month, but as ad hoc "patrols." organized by the adult who served as SPL in fact. This was the troop that had "no time" for patrols.
