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!

Amen!
Your story is almost the same as mine.
I remember selling tons of GS cookies.
Now, I’ll never buy any.

I feel the same way about the Boy Scouts.

The Girl Scouts did not endorse Wendy Davis. Neither did any official spokesman or any tweet from their account.

What they did do was link to a HuffPo story talking about women of the year and who should be nonminated. Someone NOT affiliated with Girl Scouts spoke of Wendy Davis in the article. It was not an article focused on Wendy, but many different women. The one mentioned most was youth activist Malala Yousafzai.

And the cookies aren’t as good as they used to be either.
