The Boot Camp for Feminists
If someone approaches you in a shopping center parking lot and asks you to finance a boot camp for radical feminists, would you
a) laugh, thinking it was a joke?
b) respond, “You’ve got to be kidding”?
c) run the other way?
Now let’s put some meat on the bones of the solicitor: a little girl, somewhere between the ages of five to seventeen. She is looking up at you, smiling sweetly with a look of expectation. She is dressed in a Daisy, Brownie or Girl Scout uniform –yes, a Girl Scout uniform!

Girl Scouts 97th Birthday (Nothing to Celebrate)
Wisdom and respect are the normal benefits of the aging process. Not so with the Girl Scouts USA! As the Girl Scouts turn 97 today, there is not much to celebrate. Membership is down. Cookie sales have dwindled and they are floundering around trying to be relevant.

The Girl Scouts hierarchy has issued a “Communications Alert” to Council CEOs and Board Chairs to try to put out the firestorm created by the launch of the new “leadership” program inspired by the Ashland Institute and created with the help of the Oxford Leadership Academy.
The new program will take the Girl Scouts on a series of age-specific “journeys” that culminate with the Senior Scouts becoming “ambassadors” to change the world for the global good. However, much of the current emphasis has been on the recruitment of adults who are being trained to become “guides” for the

The Girl Scouts Journey to the New Age
Before you take a journey, you need to know the destination. This summer the Girl Scouts are inviting members to set out a journey of “change” that is billed as a “leadership experience.” However, it was inspired by a New Age group and it may take you or your daughter to a place that is not compatible with your faith or values.
