The national headquarters for the Girls Scouts of America is a brand new huge building in my city. I have wondered for a long time how such a "humble" group could afford such an expensive looking place. Now, I'm convinced that they are being bankrolled by monied leftist groups.

It's not the thin mints?

Seriously, I am stunned at the direction the Girl Scouts have taken.

Amazing... while the Boy Scouts continued to get pilloried, the Girl Scouts are now promoting lesbianism, and pro-choice stances with these speakers. How absolutely sad.

- No, it's the house that cookies built.
As to the question, how did the Girl Guides get taken over by leftists, the answer is simple. Leftists, being mostly graduates from the college humanities courses, have no real skill sets in our essentially technology based society. Therefore, they can smell a charitable or taxpayer funded gravy train the way a pig smells truffles. Such organizations are notorious for their lax spending controls, poor administrative practices and lack of performance based measurements. In other words, pig heaven to someone with a fine arts degree and no practical management background.
Once in place, they attract their friends and relatives to other top posts and pretty soon you have a group running the show who share common views and work in concert to keep out others who do not share their opinions.
Then they start having lavish, all expenses paid "conferences" (they love them because they get to shmooze on free booze) to which they invite speakers who share their world view.
Voila, the Girl Guides, as an organization, rots from the center out.
