Read post 36 on that thread - repeated here - not all Girl Scouts have gone in that horrible direction!!!

Each Troop is its own entity - still doing good things for the girls and for their communities!

“I am a GS co-leader and all I can say is that what the children are taught and exposed to really depends on each troop and the leader/leaders of that troop.

I personally think it would be a shame to dismiss every Girl Scout troop based on the actions of some. If my children (both in scouts for years) were exposed and taught any of that crap, I’d rank them out in a nano-second. But the girls have been been busy attending their meetings at a local church that sponsors them, collecting food and funding for a local crisis center, participating in community cleanups and we intend to send a supply of donated cookies to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hopefully, we’ll have enough raised to also give the girls a nice little party at the end of the year. No doubt, they are exposed to much worse at their local public schools.

So the next time you see a little Girl Scout helping in their community or selling Girl Scout cookies, instead of assuming the worst, why don’t you ask them (or their leaders) what they are supporting and what they are learning. One of the interesting things about Girl Scouts is that the girls are the ones that get to decide who and what groups they support with their fund raising. As leaders, we can offer suggestions but the girls have to make the final call. ;) Not some yahoos in New York or wherever. “

It is like in many of the mainline Protestant Denominations in the US (like Presbyterian Church USA).

The HEIRARCHY in the PCUSA has gone wacko, apostate, Gaia worship, Shaman leading, crazy. However, the Christians in the pews of their churches are, for the most part, Bible Believing, Born again, Holy Spirit led believers!!!!

I believe God is purifying and restoring all the organizatoins that name His name in their heritage...perhaps this will include even the American Girl Scouts in their headquarters.

(The article you linked to however was specifically about the World Girl Scouts - not the American GS).

But the post above shows that the Girl Scout Troops are, by and large, still fulfilling the vision of their founder, Juliette Low. Thank God!
