There is now little doubt that the Girl Scout cookie boycott is having an effect on cookie sales this year.
Girl Scout spokesman Kelly Parisi went on The O’Reilly Factor this week to try and defuse the mounting controversy, and Girl Scout executives have sent threatening letters to their critics.
Girl Scout CEO Anna Marie Chavez took to YouTube on Thursday to deny all charges leveled by the boycotters and to deny at least one charge they haven’t even made.
“Recently, various individuals and organizations announced their intention to boycott GS cookies this year, based on mistaken beliefs about our movement," Chavez said. "These same individuals also believe the Girl Scouts has become too political.”
“We do not now, nor have we ever, had a relationship with Planned Parenthood," she claimed. "Girl Scouts of the USA believes that reproductive issues are deeply private issues best left to families. I find it unsettling that anyone would use the Girl Scout brand to have very adult conversations. A box of Girl Scout cookies is not a political statement.”

Glad I didn’t listen. 3 G’kid Girl Scouts and a LOT of cookies went to the Troops. God Bless the USA
some organizations need to disappear when no longer relevant or outside the norm.
No support for radicals like GSA
The pocketbook speaks volumes.
Well, you know the Left Wing only lies.
They use little girls to enable the mass murder of unborn babies and got caught.
Well, you know the Left Wing only lies.
Never gonna buy a GS cookie again.
Threatening letters? Wow...you throw a rock into a pack of dogs...
If they aren’t political or not engaged in promoting abortion, why did they show such love for Wendy Davis? I am usually underwhelmed by boycotts- they never work- but perhaps this one is!
I smell fear. Let ‘em choke on their backlog of cookies.
Well there is a good part. Al least they don’t accept Queers. /S
The GSA spokeschick spun O’Reilly like a top
‘The spin stops here’...yeah, right.
I joined the GSA in 1956. One week was enough. What they teach is generally irrelevant and a waste of time. I joined the Y and the thespian club at the Museum.
Sorry, GSA.
Still love the cookies, but no longer respect you. Sell your cookies to your nearest liberal dork.
“Girl Scout spokesman Kelly Parisi went on The O’Reilly Factor this week to try and defuse the mounting controversy”
I didn’t see this interview on O’Reilly. Can anyone tell me if O’Reilly challenged her on her statements?
They think Wendy Davis is a woman for the girls to emulate. No more cookies from me. They are very political.
But calling abortion Barbie your woman of the year is not a political statement?? No more GS cookies in this house. You should have seen the looks on the mothers' faces when I explained why I refused to buy a box.
There are some good knock off cookies out there and recipes are all over the internet. My favorites- Thin Mints and Do Si Dos (peanut butter) are very easy to replicate- thankfully!!!
I was a Girl Scout and my mother was a troop leader. I remember spending time at retirement homes on holidays, singing for the people who didn’t have relatives visiting them, raising money for families who couldn’t afford to have Thanksgiving and other character building activities.
How sad our country and companies (JCP) have been hijacked by this evil liberal agenda that is taking us straight to hell.
haven't bought any in years, won't buy any ever again...
The girl scout organization has been taken over by LIBs for years now. Say “no” to the girl scouts.
