January 17, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - When our sweet little neighbor in her brown camp uniform came knocking on our door this year, we had to say no. I told her mother that I didnt want to hurt Katies feelings, but I couldnt support the Girl Scout cookie sale anymore because Id learned too much about the organizers agenda, primarily their support for abortion and partnership with Planned Parenthood.
I worried that my political stand would cause uneasiness between us, but her response put me at ease: Well, she said, they do use unpaid child labor to make their sales, and the troop only gets 10 percent of the revenues anyway.
True. According to the Girl Scouts website, the lions share of the money goes not to the troop but to bureaucrats up the chain of command in multicounty councils. The national office gets a piece of the pie, too, in the form of royalties based on gross annual sales volume - about 200 million boxes per year.
Its a sacrifice, because I love the cookies and the cuties who sell them, but enough is enough.
I remember the Girl Scouts being flaky way back in the early 1970s. When I was a Brownie, I was told to recite some chant and step over a mirror. If I had known the word, I would have called it pagan. Even an unchurched girl of 7 could smell a rat.
Last year, the Girl Scouts decided to admit boys who dress as girls. When asked to admit a cross-dressing 7-year-old boy, a Colorado troop leader demurred, explaining to his mother, with tact and irrefutable logic, that her son couldnt be a Girl Scout because he has boy parts.
The troop leader was chastised by the mom as being insensitive and promptly was overruled by the Girl Scout top brass, who, in a statement said, If a child identifies as a girl and the childs family presents her as a girl, Girl Scouts of Colorado welcomes her as a Girl Scout. Perpetuating this cruel charade on the little boy and forcing little girls to participate in it is inclusiveness to the Girl Scouts. To others, its child abuse.
But it shouldnt be surprising: The Girl Scouts have a cross-dresser in the front office.
Ten years ago, Girl Scouts media relations officer Joshua Ackley was frontman for the homopunk band the Dead Betties. In publicity shots, hes dressed in womens clothing, and in music videos, he appears to be naked and feigning masturbation. The video for Hellevator portrays a woman being strangled in an elevator shaft while Mr. Ackley flashes a menacing grin.
Today he issues press releases, posts news and views on the Girl Scouts blog, and tries to mollify moms who are concerned about Girl Scout ties with Planned Parenthood. In fact, it was Mr. Ackley who facilitated the Girl Scouts no adults allowed workshop at the United Nations - the workshop in which the Planned Parenthood sex brochure Healthy, Happy, and Hot was offered, although part of Mr. Ackleys job is to deny it.
It wouldnt be a surprise if someone like Mr. Ackley was behind the Girl Scouts recent scandal: a guidebook that tells girls to check with the leftist, George Soros-funded Media Matters before believing what they read in the news.
As boys send in their orders for Brownie beanies and tights, the Girl Scouts have declared 2012 to be The Year of the Girl, announcing that they will be working to break down societal barriers that prevent girls from leading in their own lives. What barriers? What does leading in their own lives even mean? Forgive me for thinking it has something to do with sex or abortion.
Several years ago. a quarter of the Girl Scout councils nationwide admitted to partnering with Planned Parenthood, the nations abortion giant. When questioned about the affiliation on NBCs Today Show, Girl Scout CEO Kathy Cloninger had no compunction in confirming it.
The Girl Scouts have been pro-choice for years, but now theyve been caught supporting promiscuous sex for girls. The Planned Parenthood sex guide offered at that girls only U.N. meeting offered this advice on Page 11: Some people have sex when they have been drinking alcohol or using drugs. This is your choice. ... If you want to have sex and think you might get drunk or high, plan ahead by bringing condoms and lube or putting them close to where you usually have sex.
Heard enough? Theres a lot more at 100questionsforthegirlscouts.org.
Earlier this month, a young Girl Scout employee, Renise Rodriguez, made the mistake of stopping by the office to do extra work on her own time in a T-shirt bearing the words: Pray to End Abortion. A supervisor ordered her to turn the shirt inside out or leave the office. She left, for good.
So should we all.
Well, my daughter won’t participate in this organization. Not my values system.
We participate in the Little Flowers. She learns about biblical virtues by studying the lives of saints. Her faith & love of Christ is deepened.
“Hell boycott them all then”
I am doing just that. I own a small business and just switched my purchases (about $2,000 a year) from Staples, which supports Planned Parenthood, to OfficeMax.
“At least at GS meetings and events they are arguing pros and cons on issues and not just hanging at some party or at the mall”
Have you ever considered the possibility that they might be better off “just hanging at some party or at the mall?”
My daughter was a Brownie, but when it came time to move up to the Girl Scouts I got her out as fast as I could.
How could I possibly join as an adult member if I identify as a 10 year old?
I have had one ones from Dollar General. They have thin mints, samoas, and tagalongs. Taste exactly the same even packaged in and out just like GS Cookies. Only difference? The price! Dollar General is way cheaper.
The Girl Scouts, like the YWCA, was taken over by lesbians years ago.
Boy scouts and girl scouts targets of gay agenda. SO SAD. GAIA also part of boyscouting. Christians need to get children OUT.
They did the same in Weimar Republic....homosexuals took charge of the “boy scouts” and had sexual orgies in the woods with the boys.
They really are after the children-—to corrupt them so they can use them. Pederasty is essential part of homosexuality—since it is learned behavior. They want girls to be conditioned to hate males so they give up their sons to the lifestyle.
Homosexuality was the National Vice in Germany-—and formed the SA Brownshirts.—People with no morality. Homosexuality is to destroy Judeo/Christian morality-—Right and Wrong. Nothing is wrong is sodomy is “good”.
People who can demean their body in such inhumane ways—can treat other humans in inhumane ways. It is why zero is forcing “Sodomy is Good” in our military-—to destroy it and turn the men into the SA Brownshirt-type-thinking men who will destroy and kill their own citizens.
bttt
See Dr judith Reisman ‘s books. She warned of this and continues to do so. Consider her as a speaker. She has recently been acknowledged internationally. Dynamic lady... God bless and protect our children and our nation.
Read her books. She is awesome and fighting the good fight—for the worldview of our children. She understands exactly what the homosexual agenda is: to destroy Judeo Christian Ethics and destroy the freedom of thought and religion. The homosexual mafia is making the Bible “hate speech” and Christians “bigots” for telling the Truth.
Our country is founded on Natural Rights from God-—and as such, we have laws which have to reflect Objective Truth—God’s Laws, not Barney Frank’s standards which should be declared “Null and Void”.
The unconstitutional judges are destroying the concept of “just Law”. They are removing God from our Constitution. God is THERE, people,-—our Natural Rights come from GOD. As such, and John Marshall started the precedent —all federal law HAS to reflect the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God—in the tradition of Christian Common Law and Blackstone’s Commentaries.
What is “Little Flowers”?
Little Flowers is a Catholic girls group that is part of a larger conglomeration of Catjolic children’s groups. There’s the Blue Knights for boys, a hospitality program for older girls, a literature group, and an American history/patriotic group. Here’s a link to the website:
