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.

Where the hell is the obviously d*ckless dad in this?
What happens in a few years when little “girl scout” Bobby decides he’s a “lesbian” when he’s on a Junior high scout campout.
What parents would want him in their teen daughter’s cabin?
Try American Heritage Girls - http://www.ahgonline.org/
Following the GS's "logic", I don't see why not. I'd like to see how the GSs can refuse since they now claim themselves to be transgender friendly. It's time to practice mau-mauing the flack catchers.
See my post #23.
It will soon be an act of criminal discrimination to object to such confusion.
Many church youth groups cater to teen girls, and offer regular “all girl” events. My daughter has been in small group Bible Studies from Jr. - High school which are an outgrowth of a larger co-ed youth group. They have quarterly retreats for girls and guys, and of course separate living arrangements with adult supervision for mission trips and other adventures.
For us this makes more sense. The church is free to teach Biblical gender roles and so there is less weirdness for all.
It breaks my heart though. My boys had a fun in the scouts, as did I in girl scouts when I was young.
Is there a father?
Why is it that everything that liberal Democrats touch just turns to $hit?
They will slash the Mona Lisa or hit the Pieta with a hammer. They are not content unless they rip down every sacred institution.
Maybe it's time for civil rights laws to include transgendered (ie cross-dressing) 7-year-olds......
I donate money to the Boy Scouts every year around this time because crap like this is out of the question for them.
I keep looking up for the Big Asteroid.
No, but a set of "Parents" in Colorado certainly are!
The leadership of the girl Scouts in Colorado succumbed to political correctness. Hard to tell which form of the neurosis or insanity is more disgusting.
It’s time that all right thinking Americans abandoned the Girl Scouts. There are other girls groups that don’t push this stuff, and abortion and casual sex, on the girls.
I have no personal experience with them but there are Heritage Girls. Probably others, too.

Can I make an observation? Isn’t there something bizarre about a 7 year old trans-gender child?????
This boy hasn’t yet gone through puberty. He has no conception of trans-gender issues. He has no conception of sexual desires.
His mother is enabling her son towards a difficult life.
And society and groups such as Girl Scouts are so politically correct that we can’t call a spade a spade anymore. What is a boy? What is a girl? Who are we to judge that this young person with a penis is a boy? What if his mother insists that he is really a girl????
Carried to its logical conclusion, the Girl Scouts shouldn’t be allowed to exist under this type of PC thinking. They only allow females or, as in this case, people who think they should be female to be members. This is a case of sex discrimination. I demand a lawsuit.
“Can a 50 year old male claiming to be a female become a Girl Scout leader?”
I assume so. I know he can wear a skirt and demand to use the Macys ladies’ changing room.
“My boys had a fun in the scouts,”
Your boys are still safe in Scouts. They are not getting into this cr**, and have taken plenty of heat for it.
Torment the majority for one perverse, whacky minority?
