The Girl Scouts of the USA has announced a new direction that will see the organization push radical Marxist training programs for children.
The Girl Scouts is set to offer a four-part Marxism-based “racial equity” training series to volunteers and parents.
Part of the training will focus on “internalized racism” and “white supremacy culture.”
The 111-year-old organization was originally created to serve America’s young women.
However, the Girl Scouts now appears to have adopted far-left Critical Race Theory (CRT).
CRT is the divisive Marxism-rooted ideology that has taken root in America’s schools and corporations.
The four-part series is set to begin on December 13.
It will start with a virtual lesson titled “Foundations in Racial Equity.”
Not to be confused with “equality,” the Left’s “equity” agenda is based on Marxism.
Whereas “equality” teaches that everybody should be treated equally, no matter their race or sex, “equity” asserts that people should be treated differently depending on their skin color, “gender identity,” or mental state.
Under the “equity” ideology, for example, a transgender would be given advantages, such as securing a college scholarship or being offered a job, over a normal person.
A month later on January 16, the organization will launch the second part of its training program dubbed “Foundations in Internalized Racism.”
“Understanding and Decentering White Supremacy Culture” will take place on February 5.
The final lesson, titled “Navigating Change, Power and Equitable Decision Making,” takes place in late March.
“These D.E.I. Racial Equity workshops are designed for participants to engage in building a learning community, developing shared language and analysis around diversity, inclusion, and equity, deeply interrogating race,” a description of the sessions reads.
“Participants also interrogate structural racism and its historical construction while reflecting greatly on the way it manifests in our individual experiences, organizational dynamics, and systemic outcomes.”
The lessons will be held through GS Learn, a training platform for Girl Scout volunteers and family members of Girl Scouts.
The decision to offer “racial equity” lessons is mired in the dogmas of Critical Race Theory.
It comes after the Girl Scouts announced earlier this year that young members could earn an “LGBTQ+ Pride Month Fun Patch” if they attended a pride parade.
They were also tasked with memorizing a poem written by an author who identifies as LGBTQ, reading “about the Stonewall uprising in 1969 and its importance to the LGBTQ+ community,” or writing a poem of their own about the event.
The Girl Scouts have also published an “anti-racism guide” inspired by CRT.
The guide claims color-blindness “perpetuates racism” and that young children show a “bias towards whiteness.”
The guide instructs parents to talk to their children about racism, even implying that parents who refuse may be perpetuating unequal “justice, health, and education systems.”
The upcoming racial equity training sessions will be held in conjunction with the Equity Paradigm Group.
The North Carolina-based consulting firm characterizes itself as “a group of diversity practitioners, adult learning facilitators, researchers, organizers, change agents, and passionate social justice activists who are dedicated to evolving the way in which organizations approach their work.”
“We ground our work in the historical construction of race as a system of advantage to analyze ourselves, our actions, and to identify the underlying, implicit assumptions and biases that hold us back,” the Equity Paradigm Group states.
The consulting firm notes that their training sessions cover a variety of different topics.
Those subjects include: “Strategies for Applying an Intersectional Racial Equity Lens,” “Defining and Pursuing Liberation,” and “Naming & De-centering White Dominant Culture.”
The Boy Scouts of America have also pushed radical leftist worldviews on race.
The group announced in 2021 that aspiring Eagle Scouts would have to earn the “Citizenship in Society” merit badge.
The guide for merit badge counselors — the adults who walk scouts through the process of earning the badge — directs readers to resources that bash colorblindness, denigrate Christopher Columbus, and celebrate the LGBT movement.
“Is there any organization that existed in 1963 still left unadulterated today??”

The Left controls and weaponizes every institution it can. They view them as tools to serve their ideological agenda and increase their control over society. Sadly, its working for them.
Well...no more cookies from them.
I know how you feel.
Not to mention the pro-abortion culture they foist on girls.
It’s time to embarrass them (the adult chaperones at least) in public, if they try to sell us cookies. Make them accountable.
Of course the adults willl use the “oh that’s just the national scouts, not my local troop” defense.
They have been there for decades.
Scouts were originally anti-Marxist.
Communist persecuted Scouts everywhere.
Looks like all the persecution and lawsuits were fruitful.
Scouting has substantially changed.
We will sell you the cookies we hang you with.
$ store cookies rock.
Walmart isn't much better on this.
Keebler facilities make the GS Caramel deLites® | Samoas®. They are called Coconut Dreams in the Keebler package.
After our daughter was thrown out of Girl Guides for refusing to get injected with the Jonestown Juice, they sent multiple begging letters for a year after saying all is forgiven and could she please sign up again? We wrote back asking for an apology first before we’d consider it , but got nowhere so GG is dead to us.
Goodbye GSA. Pull out all those unaffected girls and start a new GSA. Charge the ones involved in the infection and jail their lesbian asses.

I pull my Daughter out over 40 years ago.Don’t buy girl scout
cookies-you support this.
The Girl Scouts have been sick for decades.
Isn’t Campfire Girls still a thing?
So much for buying Girl Scout cookies. I think it’s high time for an organized anti-Marxism movement in the US (e.g. Americans for the Eradication of Marxism, etc.). Marx was a lazy, arrogant, resentful, parasite. There is nothing in his writings even remotely as worthwhile as reading Winnie the Pooh.
Campfire Girls is now “gender-inclusive”, meaning they went woke.
