I trust what you say but support what I see here which to date is OK from my view of their efforts and my personal knowledge of the local troop leaders etc etc.

The "can't attend camp with your own leaders" thing is scary ! I put my trust in leaders I know, not someone I don't, for children too young to make important decisions a stranger is not one to rely on IMHO.

Good on ya for seeing the bad and reporting it. My local support for the little ladies & young men in Scouts and sports is pretty much limited to paying a hundred bucks for a bake sale item or to get my old truck washed by a bunch of paint scratchers :o)........

My donation is just telling em to keep the change , classes I teach regarding wilderness survival and a free copy of the little CATO pocket US Constitutions & DOI to each boy and girl......

Again Thanks for the info........Stay Safe !

Here are a couple of articles by the American Family Association that speak directly to what the Girl Scouts are becoming:

part one and part two

It's very sad. I have many happy memories of both my own time as a girl scout and my time with my daughter's troop.

Speaking from experience, it takes quite awhile for local troop leaders to realize that the national Girl Scouts are not the same as what they remember from their own girlhood. It wasn't until my daughter was nearly out of scouts before I realized what was going on at the national level.
