They beter not get to big, otherwise they'll become a target for vicious attack like the Boy Scouts have become.

Since the controversy began, American Heritage Girls, which has its offices in Springdale, has been receiving about 50 phone calls a day asking for information. I first heard about Heritage Girls from a thread on FR. Unfortunately there aren't any troops here...yet. It sounds like a wonderful alternative to the Girl Scouts.

This sounds interesting, but I wonder how long they can continue before the leftist media brands them a "hate group?"

I have never been a Boy Scout as a kid and I don't have kids. Would I be safe assuming that the Boy Scouts is a conservative group while the Girl Scouts are more oriented down the liberal side? Why?

I think this organization is a great idea. Christian parents can support it wholeheartedly for their daughters. The "morally neutral" parents can have the PC-approved Girl Scouts who have dumped every reference to God. Everybody's happy!

American Heritage Girls oath:
"I promise to love God,
Cherish my family,
Honor my country,
and Serve in my community."
Clearly a racist, homophobic group of religious fanatics that must be stopped!

BSA is more conservative. The misconception is thinking the two groups have anything to do with one another. I thought the same thing until a few years ago just because their names are similar. The people that found them, etc. had totally different agendas and everything.

The National level of the GS went to the dark side decades ago but they pretty much leave the individual troops alone (that is after the dues are collected .)

"They beter not get to big..."The ACLU could very well decide to go after them before they get too big. Even though the USSC has ruled freedom of association to be constitutional (surprise, surprise), the ACLU and homosexual lobby will do all they can to suppress that right.

Thank you for the post! It couldn't have come at a better time. I've been thinking of getting my 7 yr old daughter into Girl Scouts naively thinking it was morally based. If we don't have an American Heritage group here, I may just have to look into starting one!

Considering the BSA's opposition to having gay scouts I would say that they are conservative. Also look at what the UNITED WAY's attitude is toward the BOY SCOUTS. Because of their stance, I refuse to contribute one penny to the UW.

My daughter was a den mother for both of her boys. She is now a scout leader for her girls. Both are based on conservative values. You have to watch the area councils. I told her about Waco, and she checked on the one she is in.
It is the same with school. Parent involvement is important.
