We've got something even better here in Philadelphia - its a Catholic Girl Scouting organization called the Little Flowers. The focus is specifcally Catholic. My oldest daughter (3 years old) will enroll next year.

Some Unhappy With Girl Scouts Form Group

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - Donna Coody disbanded her 7-year-old daughter's Brownie troop and took her 9-year-old daughter out of another Girl Scout troop because she was upset over the organization's endorsement of two Planned Parenthood sex education seminars.

But Coody didn't want her daughters and their friends to miss out on camping trips, educational activities and service projects. So she decided in March to start a troop affiliated with the Christian-based American Heritage Girls.

"I felt like the Girl Scouts' morals were definitely lacking, and the girls needed another choice," Coody said.

American Heritage Girls was founded in 1995 by a Cincinnati-area woman and her friends who were unhappy that the Girl Scouts accepted lesbians as troop leaders, banned prayer at meetings and allowed girls to substitute the word "God" in the oath.

What started with 100 girls in Ohio has turned into a nonprofit group with 2,800 members in 22 states - with a 40 percent enrollment boost since the fall, founder Patti Garibay said....

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

Let them get big so that they can fend off the vicious attacks just like the Boy Scouts. (Guillermo, I know you really wish the same for them.)

This is great news. I am sad that the Girls Scouts have become so infiltrated by Leftists that I won't even buy their cookies.

I wish the best for the Christian American Heritage Girls.
