Girl Scouts Exposed: Communists, Radical Feminists and Lessons in lesbianism
Girl Scouts exposed: Lessons in lesbianism
Communists, radical feminists cited as role models for troops
By Chelsea Schilling
When many parents think of Girl Scouts, they imagine young girls in uniform selling Thin Mints and Tagalong cookies – not learning about stone labyrinths, world peace, global warming, yoga, avatars, smudging incense, Zen gardens and feminist, communist and lesbian role models.
But that's exactly what many of 2.7 million Girl Scouts will learn about with a new curriculum called "Journeys" released last year.
Patti Garibay spent nearly two decades in Girl Scouts – six years as a girl member and 13 years as a volunteer. She was also a recruiter, camp coordinator and area delegate winning outstanding leader and volunteer in both councils in which she served. In Garibay's words, she "bled green."
But in 1993 when Girl Scouts USA decided to make God optional in its program at the national convention in Minneapolis, an idea known as "Proposal 3: Flexibility in Spiritual Wording," Garibay chose to leave the organization.
"I had always used Girl Scouts as part of my life's ministry, modeling my faith while serving girls," she told WND. "However as this change became policy, mandates were made against Christmas caroling, praying at meetings and singing hymns. I had a true moral dilemma and felt that I could not uphold the GSUSA's rules and remain a Christian never denying my Lord."
In the Girl Scout curriculum, the organization's promise now includes an asterisk with the following disclaimer:
Girl Scouts of the USA makes no attempt to define or interpret the word "God" in the Girl Scout Promise. It looks to individual members to establish for themselves the nature of their spiritual beliefs. When making the Girl Scout Promise, individuals may substitute wording appropriate to their own spiritual beliefs for the word "God."
Garibay said it appears that Girl Scouts has taken a stance toward religion – the religion of the New Age – despite its proclaimed secular scouting program. WND asked Girl Scouts USA spokeswoman Michelle Tompkins if the organization is shifting its focus toward a New Age agenda.
No, Girl Scouts isn't headed into a New Age direction," she said. "We're just looking for new ways to get through to girls."
Following are books in the Girl Scouts' new "Journeys" curriculum:
'Amaze: The Twists and Turns of Getting Along'
In "Amaze: The Twists and Turns of Getting Along," girls from the sixth to the eighth grade will read a quote from Buddha and be encouraged to explore mazes and stone or dirt labyrinths – symbols rooted in pagan mythology and popular within the New Age movement as meditation tools.
They will be briefly introduced to Polish poet Anna Swir, known for her feminist and erotic poems, and Jane Addams, an ardent feminist and pacifist who received a Nobel Peace Prize.
The text features a quote from Harriet Woods, former president of the National Women's Political Caucus – a bipartisan group that endorses pro-abortion female candidates who run for public office.
'Girltopia'
In the next age group, for teens in the ninth and tenth grades, girls are taught about wage disparities between the sexes, and a lack of assets and senior management positions held by women.
"Girltopia" poses the questions, "When women don't earn enough, what happens to their children?" and "How could everyone help create a Girltopia?"
"This book was so depressing that I don't know what I would have done as a teen reading it," Garibay said. "The sense of hopelessness abounds in 'Girltopia.' The positivity, the enthusiasm and the vigor of youth is completely destroyed by data found to further the Girl Scout USA's feminist agenda. It plants seeds of despair and hopelessness in today's girls."

Wild Thing's comment........
I was never a Girl Scout instead I was in a group at chruch called Pioneer Girls. It was more like the Boy Scouts were we would learn about camping things, how to survive if lost in the woods etc. And there was always a prayer to start each meeting.
I always liked their Girl Scout cookies that they sell, I think it is once a year.
To see this kind of thing happening is sickening. They really are following the communist agenda to get a hold of the minds of the youth. These horrible people always go for the childrens organizations. This is so sad to see this happening and an outrage as well.

Now, if they were to teach all ways, not just this way or that way or gave the girls the choice to study this or that, it'd be okay. I was 4H for two years when I lived in San Jose, Il (you probably know where it is--just a bit away from Pekin, Chrissie.)and I loved 4 H. I learned to sew, cook and have a good time. And it was girls and boys together. I'm sorry the girl scouts are becoming such liberal weenies.

When children are used as pawns and not allowed to be children then it is time for the Parents to take over the Girl Scouts. The Boy Scouts are under as much assault and are fighting the good fight but Political Correctness is beginning to show on the BSA.
This is a disgusting manipulaton of kids. Get them while they are young and brain wash them into the liberal mantra.

America is steadily moving away from our Christian roots and morals. Ronald Reagan almost brought us back. Maybe things will get so bad under Obama that we will seek another return to our spiritual foundation.
I hate to see the assault on the traditional values of the scouting organizations. That is cowardly. But socialists are cowards anyway.

In Boy Scouts, we were never taught this crap, at least I wasn't, Shoot, in my Rifle and Shotgun Shooting classes (They still teach those which has got to drive the libs crazy) we used 12 Gauge Shotguns and 30-06 Rifles. We were taught how to survive in nature, you know, the actual cold hearted witch that is mother nature not the commie kindness and sunshine version that they try to sell nowdays. The BSA also does more volunteer work than many "volunteer" or "not for profit" or "community organizing" organizations and we do it on our own dime and with no expectations of repayment. I had a great time in scouting.
The whole purpose of Scouting is to nurture faith, service; to God and Country, instill values, give the scout guidance for a future career, and to have fun. God forbid we should actually teach that to our kids.
P.S. I'm an Eagle Scout.

I've been a lifelong supporter of both the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts. Never a Boy Scout myself.
I have a daughter who was a Girl Scout, a Candy Striper and very active in civic activities.
It's a shame that the left has infiltrated both organizations, like the education system, they'll prevail as long as the parents let them.
Involuntary servitude in the Obamination's youth corps is a sure way to enslave their minds forever.

Himmler would be proud to know that O'Vomit is committed to brain washing our youth from kindergarten through college.
