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.
Yes, the GSUSA is dumping the “dorky” vests and “singalongs” around the campfire (the words of others, not my own) in an effort to be “cool” and “edgy.” It’s sad, really, like a senior citizen shopping for a bikini and getting a tattoo in an effort to be noticed. Read the rest of this entry »
