Lefty Girl Scouts

I've stopped buying GS cookies. Some of the money raised goes to the council and national. When I see a GS selling cookies I give them a donation. That they can keep in their local troop.
It reminds me of this news story I saw once about a mall that had a policy forbidding public displays of affection, and anyone who engaged in such displays would be asked to leave. At least that's what the policy said on paper. But when it came to actual practice, the mall security only enforced the policy when gays and lesbians violated it, while allowing straight people to violate it all they wanted without consequence. It's like straight sex was invisible to them, but gay sex stood out.
If they can enforce the policy equally against everyone, then it's fine. But if they cannot enforce it equally, then they need to be stripped of their ability to enforce it at all.
She is going out of her head with all of it, and its become a distraction to them. She will lead the troop exactly one year, and that is all. Being in the south I think 4H and possibly FFA would be a better deal for them anyway.
I agree that scout leaders really don't ever need to be talking about sex, but institutionalized persecution is not the answer, and kicking people out or preventing them from joining simply because they're open about who they love is not a good policy, nor is it a good policy to allow them to join only under the condition that they lie about their identity. This idea that gay people are somehow automatically more sexual than straight people is foolishness. Straight people and gay people are both equally sexual. The only difference is that their sexualities point in opposite directions.
And the overnight would likely have been the Order of the Arrow.
As to the girl scout logo being on the flier-as long as it's clear you are not saying you represent the Girl Scouts of America-you can put the logo on your flier. IN this case, you are identifying who you are disagreeing with. In the other case where teh blog link says mygirlscout...that would be a violation, because you are representing a group within the girl scouts-whether leader adults or girls.
The Oath is so far removed from what it was when I was involved-I can't believe it.
fun fact about kh. When I was a jr in high school, my council appointed me as a delegate to National Convention. It was in Denver, and I got to ride the Zepher with a select group from our region. It was so much fun. I felt very grown up. The drama: I was also in the school play-leading role. I was going to miss 2-3 days of play practice. The drama coach told me I had to choose. Frankly, I didn't see why. She kicked me off the play and put in a sophomore in my role. I took it to the principal. Someone could read my lines for me, blocking had already been completed and I knew it, and it was important that someone from our high school would get that honor. I made my case and he made the coach give me my role back. To soothe her, I promised to have all my lines memorized by the time I got back. and I did. It was both an exhilarating and very tense week. This past fall, the Girl Scouts shut down several camps in Iowa and Illinois. That was very sad for me. My old camp was one of them. Every summer, the boy scout camp from across the river in Illinois would invite the jr high and sr high campers over for their Eagle Scout ceremony. I think that's the one-the one where the boys are sent out into the woods to overnight. Girl scouts would never do anything like that. ;(
demands in the law which contradict their faith.
Wendy Davis is running for governor (you don't get more political than that) and best known for filabustering the anti abortion bill brought up in Texas legislature. As well, leftist feminism indoctrination has been part of scout materials for some time now. But specifically elevating and promoting government or political figures seems in your face to those supporters of the scouts disagreeing with those politics or policies. Why so contraversial? Seems like agenda pushing funded by girl scouts hsrd at work selling for the organization.
I personally know of at least 2 scout leaders who were homosexual. It never came up in the context of scouting so it never caused a problem. Those who equate homosexuality with pedophilia are morons.
