I've not see that. The closest I've seen is a one year test pilot program assessing the viability of a third model for Troops, a second option for Scouts and families, of a co-ed Troop. Depending on resources, leadership, and choice, this maybe desirable for some. I'll be on the lookout for that.

I'll go with the guidance and details provided, but will be watching the outcome. But I wonder what happens if BSA is unable to obtain trademark registrations (which won't be until after February 2025)? The applications were only filed last month and likely won't be examined until January 2025.

Well, let’s drive forward.

@Eagle1993 Not disagreeing with you that the smartest action would be to have the most likely challenger on board before the filing and before any announcement Would you have had the same assumption before the BSA filed its recent round of trademarks and was challenged by GSUSA? Settlement Agreement between the parties is found in this filing as Exhibit 1. https://casedocs.omniagentsolutions.com/cmsvol2/pub_47373/b530ab19-6224-4f25-af12-fa7a92aa4b01_10117.pdf One wonders what the BSA will do if the trademark applications are rejected or successfully challenged in an administrative or judicial forum.

So, its been announced to be effective next February. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/boy-scouts-america-change-name-scouting-america-rcna151063 Questions about - 1) what does the GSUSA think of this? BSA has already had a fight over TMs with GSUSA. The filings above are applications - not yet examined by the PTO for distinctiveness, not yet published for third party prior user challenges. 2) has anyone noticed the abbreviation for this program, or given it much thought in light of BSA's recent issues?
