Girl Scouts leadership: pro-choice, pro-gay ideologues :: Catholic News Agency (CNA)
The following excerpts are from Catholic News Agency (CNA):
Girl Scouts leadership: pro-choice, pro-gay ideologues :: Catholic News Agency (CNA)
- Who’s calling the shots over at the Girl Scouts? And where’s the organization headed?
- The questions matter for two reasons. First, it’s cookie season. Any day now some cute little girls wearing green sashes and bright smiles will knock on your door and sweetly seek support for their projects, badges, and activities. Do you write the check or not? (Forget your craving for Thin Mints. Think rationally!) Should you support the Girl Scouts?
- Second, the Girl Scouts organization (GSUSA) is in trouble again. In recent weeks, they’ve drawn scrutiny for promoting biased resources (the left-wing Media Matters) and pressuring an employee to muzzle her pro-life views. The latest events top the pile of controversies that has outraged parents and spurred some Scouts to quit the organization.
- What’s going on? Are these merely quality control issues – or do the problems reflect an ideological divide between the Girl Scout leadership and the families they serve?
- In recent years, the Girl Scouts have tacked left, and criticism has mounted – over their programs and their partnerships with America’s leading abortion provider, Planned Parenthood. (As an aside, the Scouts mislead families and churches into believing that they have no relationship with Planned Parenthood at any level; they maintain that “Girl Scouts of the USA (i.e. the national office) does not have a relationship or partnership with Planned Parenthood,” but say nothing about the many local Girl Scout councils that do partner with Planned Parenthood and its teen subsidiaries.
- Concerned Scouts and their parents have publicized and documented the Girl Scouts’ liberal bent. And they’ve asked for changes.

A Personal Request
As many regular readers
know, due to my employment changes, the last several months have been
a financial burden on me, as well as many of you.
I have gone from 40 hours
a week to about 28 a week (on a good week) and, as is the case for
many of us, I end up with far too much month left at the end of the
money. In fact, the day after my computer went down, I also had the
experience of having my electric power shut off for the first time in
my life. I had gotten paid that day, but it took all the money that I
had to get the power turned back on later that night. The power
company is requiring that I pay an additional amount as a “deposit”
by my next pay day on May 24 (which is kind of funny as that is two
days after my birthday).
So, I have added a “Tip
Jar” over on the top right hand sidebar of each blog if anyone
would like to give me a hand. The “Donate” button utilizes
PayPal, which is familiar to most internet users. I appreciate what
you can do, and I would especially appreciate your prayers more than
anything!
Once again, I would like
to thank all of you who have clicked the various ads that appear on
these blogs, and for using my links to purchase Mystic Monk Coffee,
and the products I have from Zazzle. If it hadn't been for the
purchases of Mystic Monk Coffee that literally poured in after
Christmas through March, I would not have been able to have made it
through the winter.
Let me say, that I am
embarrassed to post this, but I am to the point of not knowing what
else I can do, except rely on God, who has seen me through many
storms. God has been good to me, and has helped me out with so many
trials that I can not begin to recount them all.
So, please keep me in
your prayers. I appreciate that more than you could
ever know!
May God Bless you and Our
Lady keep you in her care!
