Frontier Scouts, American Heritage Scouts . . . just a coupla’ suggestions.
your child, your business. But if you put your kid into that cesspool, do NOT bitch at what they do to her.
Just don’t. You know better as a freeper so you will have brought it on your child and on yourself. What is it with Freepers who come online looking to absolve themselves for their willingly liberal actions when they KNOW they are helping perpetuate this insanity?
I thought they were Brownies at that age?
Girl Scouts... no way
She’ll learn all about Planned Parenthood, sexual freedom, Wicca and every other leftist crap at the Girl Scouts.
and they will even learn its okay to spread HIV-AIDS without telling your partner.
Here is a pamphlet left behind after a Girl Scout confab at the UN

I wouldn’t not these days
How about FFA?
There are a lot of options, and FR is full of opinions on all of them. I’d say the key is for you to be involved - personally. If you are there and deciding what to do, then almost any group will be good for her. If you use this as free babysitting, then almost any group can and will be derailed by someone with an agenda. My daughters were Girl Scouts, and my wife was there for every moment of it - they never crossed the line or even came close. My kids were Boy Scouts, and again, I was there for every meeting and camping trip. Parenting is a 24/7 job, and even the organizations we grew up trusting the most are in Reagan’s “trust but verify” category.
Wharever happened to the Camp Fire Girls?
IIRC the Girl Scouts officially went homosexual quite a while ago.
American Heritage Girls.
My granddaughters are also thriving in AHG.
Where I have a problem with the GSA is not their politics, because I never bothered to look them up. My daughter. is only 2. I have a problem with cookie sales. I know it sounds dumb, but I assume someone is getting filthy rich on this enterprise on the backs of small girls. Seems like the troop receives a smaller amount of the percentage of their sales. Their headquarters is a very large office building which is contrary to the BSA. I know every club has fund raisers. BSA relies on heavy donations from former scouts.
My older daughter was a Girl Scout for several years but my younger one never was. The reason: The Scout Leader. My older daughter’s leader started in Brownies with my daughter’s age group (her daughter was this age) and she stayed with her through sixth grade when my daughter chose sports over scouts (scheduling conflict). This GS leader was “old school”. Her husband was military and they had meetings at their horse farm. My daughter loved it.
My younger daughter’s choice for Scout Leaders were TERRIBLE. Mean, opinionated, sarcastic, we looked at four different troops. No way. This has all happened in the last 5 years.
If you can find a leader that has conservative values and ignores or even fights against some of what the national organization is now pushing, it’s still a worthwhile experience IMO.
My wife is meeting with the administrator at our Christian School on Thursday to discuss starting an American Heritage Girl chapter in our town. She can’t wait - what a GREAT organization!
Into lesbianism.
I loved being in the Girl Scouts . That said I did not let my daughter participate . To much changed between the time I was in and the time she would have been in . I did not want her exposed to the mess that infiltrated scouting in my area .
My daughter is 6.
American Heritage Girls or if you are Catholic there’s Little Flowers.
I wouldn’t touch GS with a ten foot pole. Some FReepers claim the local troops aren’t tainted by the radicals at the national level. To me, they’re one in the same. Selling cookies enriches those fruits at the national level & joining any troop gives them #s & therefore street cred.
Try 4H instead. It’s project based and the kids get do some really cool things. It’s not just for farm kids, btw.
