(Jennifer Leclaire) On days like today, I’m glad I was never a Girl Scout. Don’t get me wrong, the principles Girl Scouts of America teaches—courage, confidence and character—are historically helpful and the cookies are no doubt delicious. But the group’s latest move left a bad taste in my mouth. A new Girl Scouts of America policy extends membership to boys who identify as girls. In other words, this girls group is now embracing transgender boys.
“Girl Scouts is proud to be the premiere leadership organization for girls in the country. Placement of transgender youth is handled on a case-by-case basis, with the welfare and best interests of the child and the members of the troop/group in question a top priority,” the group says in an FAQ on its website. “That said, if the child is recognized by the family and school/community as a girl and lives culturally as a girl, then Girl Scouts is an organization that can serve her in a setting that is both emotionally and physically safe.” READ MORE
More reason to NOT allow your girls into this liberal, brainwashing organization. These folks say good is evil and evil is good, and that is what they are teaching your children. No morals, no God, no protection for our children. This is the progressive way. WAR on women and children!
and your closed minded hatred for others is better?? not even close. the BRAINWASHING is from people like you – MORALITY doesnt come in a book – and if you need a book to be moral YOU are doing it wrong.
And you are obviously an immoral deviant pedophile wanting to teach little girls disgusting sexual behavior instead of how to grow into confident women.
Let us continue to pray for revival , salvation of the Lost, for the wisdom of God and let us standfast in the liberty wherein Christ has made us free.
thanks but we ALL can do without your holier than thou garbage. we dont need your supercilious prayers. what Girls NEED is EDUCATION SUPPORT AND LEADERSHIP non of which you are offering.. what you are offering is continued slavery.
I AM PROFOUNDLY PROUD of what the GIRL SCOUTS STAND FOR!.. they dont just talk the talk – they walk the walk. and frankly people the woman in the article should be ashamed of herself. SCOUTS are about INCLUSION not EXCLUSION..
PROUD MOM Of TWO lifetime Scouts and leader for both. GO GIRL SCOUTS!!! LEAD THE WAY.
Actually they would be a transgender girl. A transgender boy would be a girl transitioning to a boy. Thus they would be in the Boy Scouts.
Of course, that won’t happen for a very long time. The Boy Scouts just got around to being inclusive for all boys recently 🙂
Have bought my last girl scout cookie and no more support of any kind for this now deviant organization.
Do the GSA folk also promote “Pro Choice”?
So sad that so many comments are negative. WTG Girl Scouts. The nay-sayers need to try walking a mile in a transgendered persons shoes, and have some compassion.
Children that were born as male, yet identify as female would be transgender girls not boys. If the family presents a child as a girl, she attends school as a girl and lives in her community as a girl, the Girl Scouts accept her as a girl. No youth organization that I know of has a body scan to check private parts.
The term you’re using (“transgender boys”) is very incorrect. You’re looking for the term “transgender girls”. A boy who is a girl inside, is a trans girl. I’m very proud of the Girl Scouts Organization for welcoming these girls. I am a devout conservative Christian. Jesus loves these little transgender girls who are going through a hard time as it is. Jesus is the only one who can judge. There should be no bad taste in your mouth, because it does not concern you. I hope that bad taste leaves soon and you open your heart. Have a great day.
Fyi each individual troop had to be receptive to having a transgender in their group. If a leader or troop member isn’t comfortable with it, it is not required for them to have that transgender within their group.
There is no such thing as Girl Scouts of America.
I am a proud member of Girl Scouts USA
This is nonsense. There is no Girl Scouts of America.
I think the article made a mistake. It should say transgender girls! Boys still aren’t allowed to join the girl scouts
The whole world is going crazy…..with morals down the toliet. They are boys with a penis and do not belong in Girl Scouts
I am so proud of the girl scouts for teaching tolerance. My Granddaughter is a soon to be Brownie and loves the girl scouts. if you teach your children confidence and self assurance they won’t be afraid of differences, they will embrace them. I, myself, feel that if a child wants to join any organization, they should be allowed to no matter what their gender. Kudos to you Girl Scouts!
This article only illustrates how little the author knows about this subject. Girl Scouts are letting in transgender girls, not transgender boys. Here’s some advice. Stick to writing about subjects you understand or have researched.
