Girl Scout CEO Makes YouTube Plea Against Cookiecott
Breitbart ^ | 22 Feb 2014 | by Austin Ruse

Posted on 02/25/2014 9:24:53 PM PST by Impala64ssa

There is now little doubt that the Girl Scout cookie boycott is having an effect on cookie sales this year.

Girl Scout spokesman Kelly Parisi went on The O’Reilly Factor this week to try and defuse the mounting controversy, and Girl Scout executives have sent threatening letters to their critics.

Girl Scout CEO Anna Marie Chavez took to YouTube on Thursday to deny all charges leveled by the boycotters and to deny at least one charge they haven’t even made.

“Recently, various individuals and organizations announced their intention to boycott GS cookies this year, based on mistaken beliefs about our movement," Chavez said. "These same individuals also believe the Girl Scouts has become too political.”

“We do not now, nor have we ever, had a relationship with Planned Parenthood," she claimed. "Girl Scouts of the USA believes that reproductive issues are deeply private issues best left to families. I find it unsettling that anyone would use the Girl Scout brand to have very adult conversations. A box of Girl Scout cookies is not a political statement.”

“We are committed to serving God and our country," she said. “I hope I have cleared up any misconceptions out there about the nature of the Girl Scout movement and what it means to buy Girl Scout cookies.”

Girl Scout watchdog groups say Chavez has cleared up nothing and responded with a flurry of fact checks provided to Breitbart News.

My lovely daughter was a Girl Scout 20 yrs. ago. No way in hell would we let her join today. Until the toxic culture at the GSA changes radically they can't pay us to buy the thin mint cookies, as much as we like them.

I have always bought at least a half dozen boxes, but not this year. I just tell the girls "no thanks" and move on. It is not the girls' fault, but then they are just acting as slaves for the organization and the organization is dedicated to brainwashing them to be little feminazis.

It is sad that it has come to this.

Even the language. Since when did "pro-choice" mean no choice for the innocent children butchered by the abortion mills? Likewise, when did "gay" start describing the miserable deathstyle pushed by the homosexualists?

That Parisi woman got on O’Reillys show and lied and spun like a top. BOR was punked, the GSA shades everything and hides the examples of their liberal bias behind a smoke screen of platitudes. They are really sickening.

Same here.

BTW, I always thought the GS kind of got ripped off on the profit split. I remember when I was a Boy Scout, most of our fundraisers went 100% to the troop.

Those cookies have the stench of rotting aborted humans clinging to them.

They hook up with baby killers and Wicca and stuff and then get upset when some people don’t approve?

We should respond by telling the girls: “Michelle Obama doesn’t approve of children eating cookies. We shouldn’t do anything that Michelle Obama doesn’t want us to do, should we?”

Yeah, but which and who's God and what country?

Girl Scouts Allow 7-Year-Old Boy to Join Because He is ‘Living Life as a Girl’

(CNSNews.com) - The Girl Scouts of Colorado are allowing a 7-year-old boy to join a local troop because he is “living life as a girl.”

“We make the distinction that if a child is living life as a girl and the family brings the child to us and says my daughter wants to be a Girl Scout, we welcome her,” Rachelle Trujillo, vice president of communications with Girl Scouts of Colorado told CNSNews.com.

On Tuesday, 9news.com, a Denver-based television station, initially reported the story of the 7-year-old boy, Bobby Montoya. His mother, Felisha Archuleta, said a local troop leader told her Bobby could not join the troop because he was a boy.

“I find it unsettling that anyone would use the Girl Scout brand to have very adult conversations.”

Where to begin!

“We are committed to serving God and our country,”

Bonus points for flagrant dishonesty?

It does suck that both the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts were overtaken by degenerate influences.
