I have been reading all about this lately. My Goddaugher, she is the daughter of a close friend from high school, is in a troop nearby and she calls on us about GS cookies every year. Mind you the mom (my friend) and her non-Catholic, but cooperative husband are raising their daughter Catholic. So I send my refusal with several links to articles from LifeSite News along with links to AH Girl troops in the area as well as their national website. She writes back; ‘OK we won’t call you this year’.
I can GUARANTEE she didn’t explore any of the links, and I can further GUARANTEE she voted for Hussein in 2008 and will pull for the ‘steaming log’ again in 2012. Her dad was a union painter so she will never be turned from supporting the Rats.
Rats - Party first, all others a distant second at best, including faith. I will never understand it.
I have to give credit where credit is due. The Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri have posted a position statement addressing their PP relationship, abortion and birth control.

I am gratified that they have taken a stand on the PP relationship, and their neutral stance on abortion and birth control is at least not bias one way or the other.
This is more than can be said of the national organization.
