    The word ``sole'' is omitted as included in ``exclusive''. The words 
``to have'' and ``in carrying out its purposes'' are omitted as 
unnecessary. The words ``the corporation adopts'' are substituted for 
``now or heretofore used by the old corporation and by its successor'' 
for consistency in the revised title and to eliminate obsolete language. 
(The term ``old corporation'' is defined in 36:31.) The words ``in 
carrying out its program'' are omitted as unnecessary. The words 
``including the badge of the Girl Scouts, Incorporated, referred to in 
the Act of August 12, 1937 (ch. 590, 50 Stat. 623), and to authorize 
their use'' are substituted for ``including the sole and exclusive right 
to use, or to authorize the use of . . . the badge of the Girl Scouts, 
Incorporated, which is referred to in the Act of August 12, 1937 
(Public, Numbered 259, Seventy-fifth Congress; 50 Stat. 623), and all 
the other aforesaid emblems and badges, descriptive or designating 
marks, and words or phrases'' to eliminate unnecessary words.
