(CNSNews.com) – The Girl Scouts’ National Leadership Journeys program requires girls to embrace environmental justice, climate change and green energy in order to earn awards.

The Journey Awards – “aimed at giving them the benefits of the Girl Scout "Keys to Leadership": Discover, Connect, Take Action” – are described on the Girls Scouts website as being designed for girls from kindergarten through high school.

The “It’s Your Planet – Love It” journey page is illustrated with a photograph of a “green roof” at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, Calif.

“Girls are being exposed to ideas and discussions on the environment every day and everywhere,” the description of the various journeys with this theme states. “Girl Scouts journeys are packed with the latest research and girl-relevant environmental thinking and offer adults a way to interact with girls on topics of great importance in their lives.

Sad to see such a great American institution politically corrupted. Won’t be buying anymore Girl Scout cookies next year.

Didn’t the girl scouts admit a “transgender” boy whose parents are enabling his desire to be a girl, and have decided they will allow boys who are pretending to be girls, as if they are really girls??????

Environmental justice is code-word for keeping good jobs out of black neighborhoods.

This subversion has been going on a long time. 40 years ago, I was part of a left-wing group, and we had occasion to visit the local YWCA for some reason or other. The staff were ENTIRELY leftist and feminist, pro-abortion, and probably pro-gay, even though that issue didn’t come up at the time. And about half of them were Jewish.

"Environmental justice is code-word for keeping good jobs out of black neighborhoods."

No, it's a code word for ingratiating yourself with minority groups while being paid an inflated salary for doing nothing of practical value, and nothing that will benefit the minority community nearly as much as it will benefit yourself.

They also promote abortion, sexual deviance, etc. This is not your Mother’s Girl Scouts.

“Girls are being exposed to ideas and discussions on the environment every day and everywhere,”

In other words, girls are being indoctrinated with so much leftist propaganda that it may take them decades to figure out that they were conned.
