What a wonderful alternative to the Girl Scouts. I, too, have been very unhappy with the liberal agenda being taught in the Girl Scouts. Thank God someone did something about it and started this great organization. I think we should all support them in any way we can.

Another alternative is Pioneer Clubs, a nondenominational Christian organization active in many churches throughout the nation. I was a Pioneer leader for many years, and we had children in our group from all different backgrounds, churched and unchurched, wealthy families and welfare families. We did crafts, played games, sang, learned Bible lessons, did service projects for people overseas and just about everything scouts do.

I remember G. Gordon Liddy talking about a Girl Scout Group in Cincy that was teaching how to put condoms on and masturbate!! I wonder if this group came out of that disgusting happening. Liddy got the Group Leader on and BLASTED her for a long time...it was GREAT!! It started from a conservative columnist's article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer titled.."It's Enough To Make You Toss Your Cookies"!!!

Yeah for this lady!

Thanks for posting this. I've stopped supporting Girl Scouts because of their politics.

Here's their website.

I wouldnt buy a Girl Scout cookie and for anything. My girls go to Missionettes. Great progam at another church in the area. They also go to Pioneer Girl camp. Wonderful progams that leave Mom and Dad in charge.

Thanks for posting this - if they haven't done it already, the Girl Scouts organization will make "Daisy Chains" with Daisies (beginning scouts). Fund-raising cookie sales, especially right after the winter holiday season, were silly and sent the wrong message to kids who were capable outside the kitchen.

The GS door slammed for me as a parent when I heard the regional GS leader talking about how lesbians were welcome to their organization. Kids are smart enough to know who is queer--they don't need introduction and instruction. Away with the Girl Scout organization.

Ellen Christie Ach, a spokeswoman with the Girl Scouts of America, refused to comment about the American Heritage Girls or the policy differences between the two groups.

And yet she communicates volumes.

A proud Eagle Scout bump to the American Heritage Girls program ...

My daughter is a member of AWANA. It is a national organization and only in in conservative churches. It's completely Bible based and for boys and girls. It's a great program and you'll never hear anything about the homosexual agenda there!

Thanks so much for posting this. I was a Girl Scout when it WAS conservative (for 10 years, 1959-1969) - and have been unhappy with what I've been hearing lately - this gives me some options for volunteering.

I have been looking for something else besides Girl Scouts for my daughter, How can I get started? I looked forward to having a little girl, and becoming her leader. Now I have a boy and two girls. My son is in boy scouts and we are happy with their organization, but my oldest oldest daughter is almost 8 and I was a leader in her GS troop, but I was not happy with the organization and the rules I was told to fallow, and the gay issue really bothered me too. We have at least one gay person in our council. I pulled my daughter out and she is mad at me, but I told her we would find an alternative. I am really interested, how do I start this organization where I live or is there already one avaliable here?

I promise to love God, Cherish my family, Honor my country, and Serve in my community.

This reminds me of the "Laws of Camp Fire" that I memorized when I was a nine year old Camp Fire Girl.
