Independent journalist Natalie Winters dove into this disturbing new pattern. She says Muslim organizations have created faith-specific Girl Scout programs operating through mosques, complete with Islamic awards, Hajj patches, and activities built around Islamic religious practices.
And that raises a very fair question…
At what point does welcoming Muslim girls into the Girl Scouts turn into using the Girl Scout name and structure to promote Islam?
Those are two very different things.
When Winters dug into the program, she ended up finding something much bigger than just a few Muslim girls hanging out in a local troop.
Her reporting shows that entire troops are operating out of mosques, while an outside Islamic organization has created its own Girl Scout awards centered specifically around their faith.
