And here's a bit on that "congressional charter" part: http://enwp.org/Boy_Scouts_of_America#Federally_chartered_corporation The Wikipedia article mentions the exclusive use of the term "scout", but did not provide a citation. I just added a [citation needed] tag.

Interesting stuff.

We really need to put pressure on these F*!&^#(&-ing  A*!&^#(&-holes at the Boy Scouts of America.  They really do not seem to care about the world we all inhabit, and need to be put in their place.
 
MAKE, Sparkfun, Adafruit are into pressuring the BSA.  If we can get a bunch of hackerspaces to do the same, we will make an impact.
 
"no matter what happens, how we all react to a group like the BSA will define "us" fighting and losing is ok, but i think you need to fight it all the way… think of a world where there are hacker scouts, learning sharing and it would all start with a shared victory together over an old oppressive scared group trying to get in the way of the future." -- Phil Torrone, of Adafruit
