Death of any NGO's: taken over then run by leftists.

They can't help it, and stop themselves promoting their brand of political agenda.

Wendy Davis is a sociopath who uses others without regard for the harm she causes them.

Her name should be no where near the Girl Scouts other than as an anti role model.

Pity.
The Scouts once meant something to society.

Are they made from real Girl Scouts?

I was a Girl Scout and proud of it. As an adult, I have bought lots of Girl Scout cookies every year and even froze boxes of Thin Mints to make the wonderfulness last for months. But I will never buy another box as long as I live. This organization is NOT the same one I used to love and support!

When I see young girls selling cookies and asking me to purchase some, how do I respond?

How about:

“Sorry sweetie, but the Girl Scouts management has made some bad mistakes and I don’t want my money going to them. But if you have another donation group in mind, say like the YWCA (ykids.org) or the Boy and Girls Club, then I would be happy to donate to that.”

What’s the alternative to the Girl Scouts for young girls?

I hate drawing kids into conflicts created by adults but the Scout organizations have brought it to this. What to do?

I’ve been boycotting the Girl Dyke cookies for many years now, and am not about to stop now. They are a degenerate organization and have been for decades.

The lesson learned from the ruin of the Boy Scouts and now the Girl Scouts is how easy it is for a few people with a political agenda to achieve a take-over of the voice of respected organizations to the point that there is no going back. What they have done in academe, they have done in opinion-making organizations and institutions across the board. Parents need to start thinking clearly for themselves.

They've been Marxist for decades now -- way ahead of the death spiral of the BSA. From the article:

Ann Saladin, who created the website MyGirlScoutCouncil.org, told Breitbart News she wasn’t buying the apology either: “Another example of empty words. Tweet is still posted. Weeks have gone by with defense by GSUSA. Still word games: autopopulated is false claim! (And not the point.). Not truly sorry for their decision, sorry some have been offended, misinterpreted the purpose of the tweet.

"An apology now, 6 weeks later.....just days before 'National Girl Scout Cookie Day'? Hmmm, wonder if what they're sorry about is the drop in cookie sales," she noted. "Still good on Sebelius as a 2013 woman with 'courage, confidence, and character.' So I guess they only backtrack on the offenses that get widely picked up. Sick.”

John Pisciotta, who is running the boycott, told Breitbart News the boycott is still on. “Girl Scouts USA apologizes only when they are damaged by what they say and do. However, on their own accord, they just do not think first about their praise for leaders and organizations that support abortion."

[bold emphasis mine]

My husband and I bought boxes of their cookies every year once upon a time. We stopped at least five or six years ago. It appears that our boycott may be permanent.

It’s tough to turn down a neighbors cute little girl when she comes to our door selling Girl Scout Cookies. We bought 2 boxes. For the girl scout. I’m boycotting so many things that sometimes you have to pick your battles.

a discussion about 2013’s noteworthy women

I know I will search in vain for a similar discussion by the GSA about Sarah Palin.

Walmart brand chocolate mint cookies are cheap as crap and taste EXACTLY like GS Thin Mints (and they're bigger!). I've found other local grocery store brands of cookies that are fine substitutes for various GS cookies and 1/3 the price.

No need to support the GS just for the cookies!

We stopped buying them years ago - anyone remember the mints sold by the Campfire Girls? They were a treat.

This isn’t an apology. An apology would consist of replacing the head of the organization.

I haven’t bought Girl Scout cookies since I found out GSA supported Planned Parenthood.

Why the heck would the girl scouts promote abortion? Half the aborted babies would be potential future members and all of the females getting abortions would suffer the emotional damage of it. It does nothing to further female empowerment in any kind of traditional sense.

That said, I have no problem buying girl scout cookies to support my friends’ daughters.

What? The new feminist political heroine Wendy B. Davis can’t even get a Girl Scouts cookie endorsement? Buncha sexist bigots still in America. (’
You know what the B. stands for.
