This law gives the Girl Scouts corporation exclusive rights to its emblems, badges, and marks. It can control how these are used in making and selling merchandise. This right lasts as long as the corporation exists, and does not affect prior vested rights.

The corporation has the exclusive right to use all its emblems, badges, and descriptive or designating marks, and any words or phrases it adopts. This includes the badge of "the Girl Scouts, Incorporated" mentioned in the Act of August 12, 1937. The corporation can also authorize others to use these, for as long as the corporation exists, in connection with manufacturing, advertising, and selling equipment and merchandise. This section does not take away any rights that were already legally established (vested) before this law.
