What is Girl Scouts’ position on serving transgender youth?
Girl Scouts is proud to be the premiere leadership organization for girls in the country. Placement of transgender youth is handled on a case-by-case basis, with the welfare and best interests of the child and the members of the troop/group in question a top priority. That said, if the child is recognized by the family and school/community as a girl and lives culturally as a girl, then Girl Scouts is an organization that can serve her in a setting that is both emotionally and physically safe.
Is there really such a thing as “transgender youth?” Or is it actually the parents behind the scenes trying to convince a kid that he or she is “transgender?”
Boy and Girl Scouts are pretty much mired in the same PC as almost every organization in the country including schools and sports teams ..
If they “ identify” as a girl we have to take them - or for boy scouts, they have to take “ boys”
The compassionate Christian liberal left is as respondible for this as any large group... Can’t wait for our first transgender priest, can you?
Right now the only alternative is to fold and we’re not going to do that over a few dozen sick people
You can always do Scouts as an independent and not have to be in a troop under a leader that doesn’t float your boat
