So little Mary is a girl scout and she’s out selling cookies to support her troop, how wonderful. We all know the Girl Scouts, they build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. In Girl Scouts, girls discover the fun, friendship, and power of girls together, through a myriad of enriching experiences!
Oh, how wonderful. Oh, how deceiving. The Girl Scouts of America deny having any involvement or partnership with PP, but the money trail says otherwise … for the whole scoop check out this site: HonestGirlScouts — it offers a detailed timeline of GSUSA’s commitment to PP. While GSUSA donwright denies all the allegations, the proof is insurmountable.
The Girl Scouts came under rapid fire last year after a brochure entitled, “Happy, Healthy and Hot” was leaked. You see, the World Association of Girl Scouts and Girl Guides hosted a no-adults-welcome (first red flag) panel at the United Nations in 2010 where Planned Parenthood was allowed to distribute this indecent brochure. The event was part of the annual United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) to which GSUSA sends teenage ambassadors. Teenage Ambassadors! Why do I sound so aghast? Read on … if you dare!
The brochure, aimed at young people (ages 10-25) living with HIV, contains explicit and graphic details on sex, as well as the promotion of casual sex in oh so many different forms. The brochure claims, “Many people think sex is just about vaginal or anal intercourse… But, there are lots of different ways to have sex and lots of different types of sex. There is no right or wrong way to have sex. Just have fun, explore and be yourself!”
The brochure goes on to encourage young people to “Improve your sex life by getting to know your own body. Play with yourself! Masturbation is a great way to find out more about your body and what you find sexually stimulating. Mix things up by using different kinds of touch from very soft to hard. Talk about or act out your fantasies. Talk dirty to them.”
Gasp!! It’s obviously not your mother’s Girl Scouts any longer. Lest you forget, this is not a sexual encounter weekend for married adults, this is for our young daughters … did you read above … youngsters ages 10! to 24. This brochure continues into the realm of horror stating, that national laws requiring HIV-positive people to reveal their status to their partner(s) “violate the rights of people living with HIV” and calls for advocacy to “change laws that violate your rights.” Now that is downright atrocious.
Absolutely appalling in my mind. I grew up never reading anything worse than Judy Blume and even that my mother banished from our home. We wonder why our daughters are so sexually charged, why teenage pregnancy is reaching alarming rates, why over 4,000 babies are aborted daily in the US alone. Where are the parents? Where are the role models? So many otherwise innocuous organizations, businesses, and non-profits are rendering you mute by thrusting such garbage down our daughters throats. Empowering my ass …
You want to be empowered, open your eyes and become pro-active … check out the list compiled by LDI: Life Decisions International: Life Decisions International do your own research and get involved. I know I never let my guard down … I don’t trust a living soul to tell me the truth! Guard your children … the devil’s in the details!
Finally for an absolutely terrific read check out: Feminist TakeOver of the Girl Scouts
Yes. This is absolute truth. I always believed the Girl Scouts were above reproach, but as an Evangelical Christian I cannot support them any longer. Very sad.
It’s wnordeful to have you on our side, haha!
I came across your blog post on the Girl Scouts. Thank you for linking to my Christian Conservative Spectator post The Progressive Girl Scouts Of America 2011 and your nice recommendation
I do not know if you have heard, but last month GS of Colorado admitted a 7 year old boy as a full fledged Girl Scout because he “lives life as a girl”. I have posted the details in Cross Dressing Girl Scouts Of America

Beautiful family, fun site, and I particularly like your About reference to John 10:10
Hi Jerry! You are very welcome!!! I have heard the story of the 7 year old, it left me wondering who his parents were. At 7 to let a child make such a decision is incomprehensible to me! Very sad the lack of parenting that is prevalent in todays society. 🙁 I will check out your post about it!!
Thanks so much …
Susie
Disgraceful, what an absolute shame. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
This is shocking, I don’t even know what to do. We are so involved in the GS that I can’t imagine or life without them, but then if this is what they are pushing behind closed doors, I’m appalled.
hi! I love your writing very so much! This was a total shock, I had to go out and check your fact — oh my gosh. What a tragedy.
Such a shock. I can’t believe this is true. :/
This is a great post, thanks!
I hope you are spot on about this because if the GSUSA council sees it in writing, and it is not , there could be issues. I can tell you firsthand that through all my years of involvement in The Girl Scouts, and that includes friends currently leaders in troops in Pennsylvania, if they had heard of anything like this they would have gone ballistic. I, and many, many of my childhood friends attended resident camps during the summers, and never heard anything even close to this going on. I am going to cut and paste this and send it, and the website to one of my contacts on the council and see where it goes…I am sure they will be interested.
I urge you to do so!! To think that my little blog was able to reach one person who had no idea and decided to investigate, thrills me to no end!! Especially since you believe it to be so inflammatory that I could face “issues”!! Let me know what you think when you conclude your research …
