Reply #19: i saw a report on the girl scouts several years ago

[orleans]

it was 20/20 or nightline or something

basically it reported that they were really not like the boy scouts

the girl scouts were all about corporate crap--making those running the organization wealthy--the money the girls raised was not funneled back down to them like it is with the boy scouts--

i was horrified after hearing this report

my daughter was not a girl scout
i probably would not have let her be a girl scout if she had wanted to be

it was not a positive report--like i said, it was all about the money that mostly gets pocketed at the top of the org.

maybe it's changed but ???

i still buy a box of cookies from the neighbors, but i know the cut they're getting out of it is like 2 percent and compared to the boy scouts (i can't remember exactly what the difference was--but it was a huge difference) i would say the girl scouts definitely discriminate on the basis of gender. (and by that i mean they encourage or used to encourage these girls to sell sell sell and they gave practically nothing back to them)
