On a mundane level, the Girl Scouts aren’t immune to the problems facing McDonald’s, Kroger or any other seller of foodstuffs. They are slashing portions (another box of air) and charging more and their customers have noticed.
And then there are the politics. The Scouts are the Junior PC Army now. They have appointed a lesbian as ‘Chief Girl Experience Officer,’ which sounds like the premise for a porn film. Their method of dealing with press inquiries is an especially smug variety of boilerplate in which they quote meaningless statistics and big themselves up some more.
As with schools, sports and other youth-oriented endeavors, the leftists simply cannot resist the devil’s candy of young impressionable minds to poison. They’ve gone from in loco parentis to parents having to monitor closely what nonsense the Scouts have foisted on their daughters.
Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts have turned into one big money making machine. I would not let my kids join either as they are presently organized. Parents should just get with friends and take their kids on excursions and camping trips!!!
