Girl Scouts Raise $250K for Transgender Cause
Church Militant ^ | 7-1-15 | Christine Niles

Posted on 07/01/2015 10:18:11 AM PDT by markomalley

A Girl Scouts troop in the state of Washington has returned a $100,000 donation because it came with the caveat that it could not be used to support transgender scouts.

In an interview Tuesday, Megan Ferland, CEO of the Girls Scouts of Western Washington, said, "Girl Scouts is for every girl, and that is every girl regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion. Every girl is every girl."

This includes boys who think they're girls. The Girl Scouts claim their policy is one of "inclusivity," and they welcome transgender scouts, and in fact have several such members in their troop.

Who didn’t see that coming. I agree with several FReepers who thought the original story of the donation with restrictions, and repayment of the donation, was bogus.

No cookies for me!

Hated their crappy cookies anyway. If that’s all they’re good for any more, they’re just wasting oxygen.

I live in Washington state but won’t after I retire.

Hope there’s still somewhere to escape this madness.

If I was a HS aged kid, I would join the Girl Scouts and say I am transgendered and defy them to not let me in.

The Girl Scout Promise

On my honor, I will try:
To serve GOD and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

The Girl Scout Law

I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and
responsible for what I say and do,
and to
respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.

The Boy Scout Creed:

Here is the complete text of the “Boy Scout Creed” by Ludvig S. Dale

To be trustworthy in all things. Loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous and kind. To learn obedience and practise cheerfulness and Thrift. To be brave, clean and reverent. Above all to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight. To “Be Prepared” at all times to do my duty to God and my country, and to do a Good Turn to someone every Day.

Ludvig S. Dale was the National Recruiting Officer for the Boy Scouts of America in 1914.

They said they will not identify the anonymous donor who out conditions on the donation. Why not? Liberal LGBT activists think.nothing of violating privacy of people.who worked on ballot initiatives to define marriage. Why wouldn’t they out this person as a bigot??? This story sounds like a made up story someone planted in the media.

And then the climax is how they ended up raising much more than the $100k returned donation. There too, this is too convenient falling inine with the storyline of how their version of love overcomes hatred of transgendered girls and all that.

why am i inclined to think that the original ‘donation’ was bogus, and the whole transgendered thing used to garner sympathy and donations?

i call BS

No more cookies for me. My niece and her daughter are very active but Elise is 7. Sigh. And in Tucson so guess she’s doomed.
