Pakistan Boy Scouts Association Ordinance, 1959

This 1959 Ordinance formally incorporated the Pakistan Boy Scouts Association as its own body corporate, taking it out from under the general Societies Registration Act, 1860, and giving it exclusive rights over its name and insignia.

Section 1 gives the short title and confirms it applies to the whole of Pakistan, coming into force on a date the Federal Government notifies (which the footnotes show was 14 August 1959). Section 2 is the incorporation provision: the Association, previously registered as a society, ceases that registration and instead becomes a body corporate with perpetual succession and a common seal, able to acquire, hold, and dispose of property and to sue and be sued in its own name.

Section 3 says the Association's constitution, powers, and functions are governed by rules the Association itself makes, subject to the Federal Government's prior written approval; until new rules are made, its old society rules continue to apply.

Section 4 gives the Association the sole and exclusive right to use its emblems, badges, uniforms, decorations, and titles, including the name "Boy Scouts" or any title containing the word "Scouts" (with an exception preserving military units' own titles). Section 5 makes it an offence, punishable by fine, to violate this exclusivity, and where the violator is a company or association, every knowingly-involved member is deemed guilty. Section 6 has since been omitted by later amendment.

This is an old ordinance (1959) with amendment footnotes ("Subs. by", "Omitted by" the Federal Laws (Revision and Declaration) Ordinance, 1981), and it does not state a specific fine amount for violations, so anyone needing the actual penalty figure should check the current official text.
