Girl Scouts troops disband after chapter says it will allow transgendered 7-year-old
NY Daily News ^ | Dec. 22, 2011 | Rheana Murray

Leaders of three troops of Girl Scouts quit their posts and disbanded the troops after the organization’s Colorado chapter said it would allow a transgendered 7-year-old to join.

The troop leaders, all affiliated with a Christian school in Louisiana, resigned in protest of the Colorado chapter’s decision to allow participation from any child who identifies as a girl, The Christian Post reported.

Controversy erupted when Felisha Archuleta tried to enroll her son, Bobby Montoya, who identifies as a girl, in a Girl Scouts troop in Denver.

When a local troop leader refused, saying Bobby wasn’t allowed to join because he had “boy parts,” Archuleta appealed to the leadership of the Colorado chapter, the mother previously told the Daily News.

The organization reviewed the troop leader’s decision and opted to enforce its policy of inclusion for transgendered children, The Christian Post reported.

“If a child identifies as a girl and the child’s family presents her as a girl, Girl Scouts of Colorado welcomes her as a Girl Scout,” the chapter said in a statement.

What unmitigated idiots. This kind of thing will ruin the Girl Scouts, if the libs in charge keep it up.

I think that’s the point. Liberals love to destroy organizations(the scouts, the military, the family, the church) that they perceive stand in the way of global collectivism and absolute dependence on the state.

Yeah, me thinks that was the idea from day one with that twisted wreck of a parent.

Poor kid...

I would think it would be rather dangerous to be walking around right now if I were someone who thought to have a Girl Scout policy accepting of transgendered children, and it might be twice as dangerous for a parent who tried to have that policy enforced.

Are there any alternative organizations similar to the Girl Scouts that they can join?

How soon before we have gender choice at birth with the parents deciding to keep thing the way they are or not?

Can a 50 year old male claiming to be a female become a Girl Scout leader?

I think the parents and leaders did the right thing. Start another group, such as Campfire Girls, Christian Girls Group or such, and continue on your way. The freaks and queers faction hates to be ignored and the Girl Scouts will eventually learn, become defunct or become the Girl, Freaks and Queers Scouts.

Well, given that boys are more “valuable” than boys in some cultures, the ultimate punishment for gender selection is for a parent to choose the male gender prior to birth, only to have the child identify as female and have a sex change!

Felisha Archuleta suffers from severe obvious confusion regarding the distinction between “boy” and “girl” and the Source of that distinction. May God cure her of her severe mental illness. The Colorado “Girl” Scouts choose to embrace that disorder and succumb to such confusion. The reporter, however, unlike many in her profession, does not the boy a “daughter” or a “girl,” thereby endorsing the deranged confusion of the alleged mother.

The way things are going I don’t see how they can stop him.

As long as he promises not to make the brownies...(sarc)

I'm sure we could come up with a few names for "That Type" or organization for "Those People".

The Pat Scouts?

I was in Camp Fire Girls. A quick perusal of their website suggests that they've gone just as loony as Girl Scouts. And it's "Camp Fire USA" now, so it's no longer a girls' club.
