Girl Boy
Can you start an organization similar to girl scouts/ boy scouts as long as it doesn’t include the title?

I am curious as to whether you can start a troop organization similar to girl/boy scouts. As long as you don’t call it girl/boy scouts and you don’t use what the two organizations use. Could I get sued for starting a troop similar to girl/ boy scouts but I don’t have the name girl/boy scouts?

Well, I’ll assume you’re in the U.S.

The First Amendment of the Constitution prohibits the government from interfering with our rights to peaceably assemble.

So, yes, you can form any kind of group you want.

As long as you avoid trademark infringement and such (as you realize — don’t call it an existing group’s name, or steal too much of their lingo, or any of their symbols).

You might want to see what similar organizations already exist.

If we knew why you want something that ISN’T Boy/Girl Scouts, we might be able to help you.

Is it the “god stuff” that you want to avoid?

Or what?
