I just read your article and it backs up what I wrote . . . the proceeds from Girl Scout cookie sales are not funneled to the national scouting organization.
We are small troops in a rural section of Florida ... there are six girls in our Brownie troop and three in our Junior troop. We are 100 miles from our local council and 1,100 miles from New York City where they hired a big bad lesbian. If the woman does her job well, I could care less what she does in her bedroom. I’m quite sure she’s not going to appear at one of our meetings and give a lecture on same sex relationships.
Instead of discussing abortions we march in parades (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vznq_zJpA2o&list=UUSoGIdE4CWdC0tonXvQF3Bw) ... usually leading the way with the flag. We go bowling and skating and camping and learn juggling and make crafts. In the next couple of weeks we’re going to have a flash-mob singing event in the town square, a hike in the forest, a family fun run, and a weekend camping trip.
I really sorry that you can’t see the good things about girl scouts.
We are ‘Community Partners’ with the VFW Veterans Village (http://vfwveteransvillage.org/index.php). We maintain their garden, participate in their programs, and make gifts for them. We also have our weekly meetings at their facility.
Most of the girls are also members of 4-H. I’m sure that’s another organization you don’t approve of ... but since you seem to be a bitter person, your opinion means nothing to me.
well, you didn’t read between the lines. Nor did you check out any of the other three sites I sent
4H is a wonderful organization
The VA and the VFW are the best organizations to serve. They think of the GSA, as most do, as they used to be. They think of the GSA as they used to be, before they became politicized as did the BSA after their brave holdout, and ultimate surrender. They were exemplary...well, until they gave in to money pressure. how boys need money to pitch tents and learn from a century old manual, I will never know. I do know they had to sell a building in Phili that was extravagant. Cant imagine what they needed it for, if the price was giving up their moral code.. everything they are, but I digress.
