>there's so much trademark confusion, for a long time I'd always assumed they were two branches of the same org, and trademarks aren't supposed to allow for this kind of confusion. Confusion goes way, way back in the U.S. as far as scouting as there have been multiple organizations doing similar things, just between 1896 and the 1940's you had: - Woodcraft Indians - Sons of Daniel Boone - Boy Scouts of the United States - Peace Scouts of California, New England Boy Scouts, Rhode Island Boy Scouts, Michigan Forest Scouts - Life Saving Scouts of the World - American Boy Scouts - YMMIA Scouts - Colonel Cody’s Boy Scouts - Lone Scouts of America - Columbian Squires - Boy's Works - DeMolay International And probably many other smaller ones.
