"We accept all girls in kindergarten through 12th grade as members. If a child identifies as a girl and the child’s family presents her as a girl, Girl Scouts of Colorado welcomes her as a Girl Scout. If a child is living as a girl, that’s good enough for us. We don’t require any proof of gender."

Coloradans are mad cool, I’m just saying.

"We think the [Girl Scouts’] national leadership has been infected with a radical feminist agenda."

That’s Terry McKeegan of the Catholic Family & Human Rights Institute (C-FAM for short!), who claims that the Girls Scouts of America is really a front to push a radical progressive anti-family anti-modesty agenda. I learned to plant in Girl Scouts, sold crafts to raise money for our troop, and got a tour of the Concorde. Real sordid stuff, right? And nothing says progressive like dressing up in an ugly vest and selling cookies door-to-door.

We’ll put it this way, America: when you attack the Girl Scouts, you attack Girl Scout Cookies.

I’ll put it this way: The Girl Scouts, which teach entrepreneurship to young girls and provides the U.S. with delicious cookies > The Boy Scouts, which teaches knot-tying, tent-pitching, and homophobia.
