[sudo-discuss] Boyscouts suing Hacker Scouts !

[Pete Forsyth]

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.
Pete
