The international organization—World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS)—which is funded by GSUSA

Stop right there. This is blatant falsehood. There are 144 member nations in WAGGGS and USA is one of them, but we do not "fund" the worldwide scouting movement. Who wrote this hit piece? Yeah, the Europeans who dominate the world scouting movement (which is where it began) are pretty liberal and they love the UN and its agenda. But world scouting is a pretty rare experience for any girl in the US. I did take a troop over there to an international jamboree 2 years ago but not many get that experience.

When I was in the GS both as a Girl and a Leader I was told we funded it.

Per the Girl Scouts of the USA web site

http://www.girlscouts.org/en/faq/faq/social-issues.html

Every Girl Scout and Girl Guide organization is a member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts—and each Member Organization, including Girl Scouts of the USA, pays dues. WAGGGS operates in much the same way as the United Nations: Each Member Organization pays dues based on the size of its membership and the per capita income of the country in which the organization resides.

I wonder which country provides most of the funding?

You’ve been on this forum defending this abomination for years. You must be ok with the Girl Scouts’ pro-lezbo, pro-abortion sexualization of young girls, huh?

My kid will NEVER EVER take part in this left wing piece of crap organization. I don’t care what you want to claim each local troop does. No way I’ll support this.
