Girl Scouts are a lost cause, they do not stand for anything moral anymore as an organization. I have seven grandaughters and that was not an issue in our family. And we come from a strong Scouting background, mainly Boy Scouts but we were always hoping that GSA would get a clue. They didn’t, they bought the lie.
I personally think it would be a shame to dismiss every Girl Scout troop based on the actions of some. If my children (both in scouts for years) were exposed and taught any of that crap, I'd rank them out in a nano-second. But the girls have been been busy attending their meetings at a local church that sponsors them, collecting food and funding for a local crisis center, participating in community cleanups and we intend to send a supply of donated cookies to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hopefully, we'll have enough raised to also give the girls a nice little party at the end of the year. No doubt, they are exposed to much worse at their local public schools.
So the next time you see a little Girl Scout helping in their community or selling Girl Scout cookies, instead of assuming the worst, why don't you ask them (or their leaders) what they are supporting and what they are learning. One of the interesting things about Girl Scouts is that the girls are the ones that get to decide who and what groups they support with their fund raising. As leaders, we can offer suggestions but the girls have to make the final call. ;) Not some yahoos in New York or wherever.
