Similar to how brand names become the name for things (kleenex, jello, etc),
the term “scout” i think is used as a generic for all of these types of outdoor
youth organizations.
I think differentiating it via operator=* and the name=* tag would be enough.
"Boy Scouts” sounds like a name, but is it the Boy Scouts of America? is the
Mexico scouts (which are boys and girls)? is it the Boy Scouts of Japan?
it is just a generic for all these types of organizations.
If I saw
name=Chiro Kortrijk
club=scout
operator:Chiro
I would assume it is that Kortrijk City’s meeting place for a regional group
similar to the Boy or Girl Scouts - not that is *is* the Boy Scouts of Belgium.
