Conservative Scouting For Girls?

Looking for a conservative organization similar in structure to GSA. I have seen a couple of mentions of different organizations. I have a dear friend who has been a Girl Scout troop leader for years (using old pre-PP books) but who is very disgusted with the course GSA has taken lately. Isn't there something that girls can join that will give them the life skills GSA USED to provide?

My son is in Civil Air Patrol - lots of girls there learning aerospace and leadership. I’ve known several girls from CAP who have gone on to the AF Academy to become officers.

Unfortunately such an organization cannot exist in America these days. For girls or for boys. For if it did, it would immediately come under attack by brassy loud-mouth bullies who are so hateful and intolerant of all that is good in this world that they will make it their mission to bring it down.

The sad thing is that we, as a society, roll over and let it happen.

I have two granddaughters in a Manassas VA AHG troop. They love it. My Catholic daughter loves the Christian orientation.

Well then do it anyway.

American Heritage Girls is pretty well known for being an organization which does well for the girls.

I bought an antique 1950s Boy Scout manual and made my kids (both boys & girls) study it then take firearms training.

Turned out just fine.

Did AHG clean up their act? At one time the had planned parenthood links on their website.

I have also heard of an organization called Pioneer Girls.

Headline sounds like a tagline for Laz.... oh heck... me too.

4-H or FFA (Future Farmers of America)

Or, teach them all they need to learn YOURSELF. It used to be called, ‘Parenting.’ ;)

I agree with the 4H idea. I've taught archery and small arms training to 4H kids. It is not a religious based organization in fact they do not allow any religion into the meetings. I've never seen or heard any comments about anyone’s sexuality at any 4H event or meeting. We teach leadership and life skills. You do not ever have to own an animal to be a member of 4H.

They can't easily do that if groups are independent using only guidelines.
Any national organization will bring out the attention whoraldos of the country.
Just my thoughts.

There is a conservative alternative to the Boi Scouts.

I strongly suggest that you check out American Heritage Girls.

My brother has four daughters and my sister-in-law helped form a local troop for her daughters and the daughters of the other mothers in the area who were home schooling. The troop has now been in existence for about 10 years and all four of my nieces absolutely love being a part of it.

There is absolutely no way that AHG has any links or connections to Planned Parenthood. The poster who suggested that possibility may have been thinking of the Girl Scouts. I know my SIL would not had anything to do with AHG if it supported Planned Parenthood.

After a Girl Scout assembly at the UN way back these booklets were distributed to the girls.

Yes, and it really says those with HIV/AIDS have a “right” to sleep around without telling their partners they have the disease.

Which is a felony in all states.

And yes, this is on their website, kind of hard to deny you are encouraging people to commit felonies.
