Dictator Obama's DHS Want US Girl Scouts To Prepare for War, Pestilence

US Girl Scouts prepare for war, pestilence
WASHINGTON
The United States wants to enlist its 3.4 million Girl Scouts in the effort to combat hurricanes, pandemics, terror attacks and other disasters.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched a campaign Tuesday to entice the blue, brown and green-clad multitudes to be even more prepared, with the promise of a new patch if they pitch in.
The young scouts will be able to emblazon their sashes or vests with the patch if they undergo the training which readies them for an emergency.
"This new preparedness patch will increase citizen preparedness and enhance our country's readiness for disasters," said DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano in a statement.
"As a former Girl Scout, I know the 'Be Prepared' motto well, and I look forward to working with the Girl Scouts to spread the preparedness message to all of our nation's citizens."
The move is part of a month-long government effort to make Americans better able to cope with natural and man-made disasters.
Napolitano has urged individuals, families and businesses to stock fresh water and food, and prepare an emergency plan -- to be enacted in the event of a disaster.
The unveiling of the patch marks a partnership between the scouts and Citizen Corps, a community-based initiative under the DHS's Federal Emergency Management Agency, which coordinates national response to disasters.
Girl Scouts of the USA chief executive Kathy Cloninger said the tie up with Citizen Corps "provides an opportunity for our girls to lead the way in ensuring that their families and their communities are prepared for emergencies."
The patch will be available alongside existing Girls Are Great, Girl Scouts Against Smoking, Media Know-How and Read to Lead patches, and, of course, the Cookie Sale Activity Pin.
Girl Scouts sell an astonishing 200 million boxes of cookies each year on average, according to the organization, which was founded in 1912 and chartered by the US Congress in 1950.
It is not the first time the girl guides have been called into action in defense of the homeland.
During World War II, Girl Scouts "operated bicycle courier services, invested more than 48,000 hours in Farm Aid projects, collected fat and scrap metal, and grew Victory Gardens," according to Girl Scouts of the USA.
As the end of the second millennium neared and computers around the world were expected to be stricken with a debilitating bug, Girl Scouts were enlisted in some parts of the country to hand out advice about the threat poised by Y2K.
After the September 11, 2001 attacks scouts hosted remembrance ceremonies and wrote thank-you letters to rescuer workers.
Wild Thing's comment........
Can you imagine what some of the new girl scout cookies will be ?
suicide bomber mint....cat 5 fudge bars....earthquake peanut butter....etc.
Look for new badges for this new service to have the Obama “O” logo on them. I suspect this business with the Girl Scouts is part of the plan to get the civilian army started. Obama wants control of the children.
What happened with letting kids be kids. This isn't about writing thank you notes after the 9-11 attacks, or growing gardens during WW11. This is a whole different thing. WAR? Have them involved at all with things about the War imo especially for the very young groups of girls is wrong. Let them be little kids and doing the Girl Scouts like they used to do Pre Obama.
Heck I still love to color in coloring books it is relaxing. I even used to take them on locations for films and modeling jobs and it was fun to see how many of the other actors and stunt people would color with me. hahaa true. On the movie " Glory" half the cast came by the Hotel room we were assigned just to color for awhile.
Obama is building his army, his army of children and this is very concerning.

Who comes up with this stuff, who has the list, this just keeps coming out, one item after another. One Socialist program after another.
Girl Scouts to prepare for war, what do the Brownies do, load magazines ? This is 1933 all over again... So who will be the blame for all the ills of the country, Conservatives ? Are we going to be sent to re-education camps, 'to get our minds right'?
They aren't listening, It looks like Rationed Health Care is going to pass and there aint thing one we can do about it.
So it is on to step 2 in the revolution.

Methinks nappy needs a good old fashioned thrashing about the head and shoulders. Of course, it may not work but it would make alot of folks feel better.

She's aiming to make brown shirts out of them, not Brownies.

What is next, the three person cells? These programs and proposals just keep coming. We may just skip socialism and go straight into communism.

As an Eagle Scout, I have a hard time believing that they'll learn real survival skills from these lefites. Are they really gonna be like the skills I learned in the Boy Scouts. In Scouts the scoutmasters taught us how to build a good shelter, how to make fire without matches, applying splints, field dressings, dealing with heat/cold injuries, deaing with the wildlife, knot tying, the use of firearms, and more.
Are they going to teach them those really useful skills or just hail obama brownshirt stuff.

Napolitano needs to go the way of Van Jones. Haven't they learned from the school speech that people don't trust them and want them to keep their grubby rat claws off our kids? Even though I didn't get my Peanut Butter Patties this year (salmonella scare) I still don't want them messing with the Scouts.

Mark, I never saw anything like this in
my life, unless I was not paying
attention how communist counties
do things like this, constant
messing with things.
Your so right, "One Socialist program after another."

Glenn Cassel AMH1(AW) USN RET, heh heh
I agree and am all for your suggestion.

Jack, she sure is. I really hate
when they mess with children in any way.
Posted by: Wild Thing at September 9, 2009 07:58 PM
Tom, good point, it sure feels like that
is what they plan.
"We may just skip socialism and go straight into communism."
