This is not your grandma’s Girl Scouts

Meet the New “Green Police”: The Girl Scouts “Teach” Your Daughters By Debbie Schlussel

If your daughter is a Girl Scout, you might hear about how horrible you are for serving meat for dinner. You see, meat is one of the new enemies of the Girl Scouts’ green zealotry. Ditto for toilets that only need to be flushed once.

As a kid, I was a Brownie and then a Girl Scout.  But our troop–which was made up of the girls in my class at a private Jewish school and was headed by my mom and her friend–wasn’t political.  We baked stuff, learned how to tie knots and build tents, and we visited sick people in hospitals and old people in nursing homes who had nobody else to visit them.

Sadly the Girl Scouts is no longer what it used to be...and not in a good way…
