Oh No! Not the Girl Scouts, too!

I have to say I kind of always had a concern over "empowering girls" to become whatever they want to be, but I never even knew some of the info that I read in the article on the RR News.

The Girl Scouts' new radicalism
The Girl Scouts of the USA have been on a steady, well-documented leftward slide for many years. (More on that later.) But this summer, the organization is about to take a giant leap even further in that direction.
(You can find the link to the article on the RR News page)

I just emailed it (the article) to the leaders of my daughter's troop and also put in the link for the "American Heritage Girls" which sounds like an AWESOME organization! I said "Anybody want to start an AHG troop? :)"

The Girls Scouts have always best leftist. Not like the Boy Scouts of America. Two entirely different entities. Just look up their beliefs.

Proceeds from girl scout cookies have been funding planned parenthood and NOW for years...I quit buying girl scout cookies years ago because of it....

Ugh, I should've known this stuff, huh?

I was never in the Girl Scouts growing up and had heard for the most part great things about the organization. However, three years ago I worked as the Waterfront Director at a Girl Scout camp in NC. I was shocked at how liberal the orgnaization is and found my conservative views to be in a small minority among the staff and administration. After experiencing it first hand I told my husband and family I would never allow my daughter to join a troop.

I used to go to Pioneer Girls when I was young. It was church based, we had devotionals, cute blue uniforms with a sash, and we earned badges. I can still sing the theme song.

anyone else go to Pioneer Girls?

when I was a girl scout leader 20 years ago, I saw the lesbian activists infiltrating the ranks of the leaders and higher up. I was disgusted and pulled my girls out shortly after. I was a girl scout for 6 years in school and loved it, but it changed in the 80's for the worse. It was ripe for it.

Thank you guys so much for posting this. I have a Junior Scout and a Brownie Scout. I have to do more research and let this soak in. Thanks again, guys!

I don't want to upset anyone in our town (very liberal!) but I'd like to start an American Heritage Girls troop, I think. Next year would be perfect, my son starts full day school. Ooh, such a big responsibility, though!
