Well it depends on what bad is… Do they still support pp. yes. But so do a lot of things. This in particular is one boycott I have given up on. Call it thin mint weakness.I apologize if this has already been asked, but are the Girl Scouts still bad? I just had two adorable girls come to the door and ask if I wanted to buy cookies, I had to tell them no because they support bad things. I felt horrible but could t bring myself to do it. Can anyone tell me if the Girl Scouts are still bad in 2016?
I totally feel your struggle. I was asked today to buy, and I said no… Felt so bad (yet also confident in my decision).I apologize if this has already been asked, but are the Girl Scouts still bad?

Actually, any local grocery store sells Keebler Grasshopper cookies that are, at least to me, just like the thin mints I used to just love so much.Call it thin mint weakness.
While I can appreciate your dilemma, I’m not sure it was your place to tell 2 little girls that the organization they belong to supports “bad things”. The two little girls probably have no knowledge of what you are talking about, and certainly are not aiding and/or abetting whatever the organization might be doing.I apologize if this has already been asked, but are the Girl Scouts still bad?

I actually thought of this, and that’s why I worded it like I did. I knew that talking about abortion or other things would of been wrong. I was hoping they would tell their parents what I said and hopefully make them think about things. It was also in the 20’s out and I felt they shouldn’t of been letting 2 very young girls go door to door. So who knows, I only did what I thought was best, but then second guessed myself like I always do.While I can appreciate your dilemma, I’m not sure it was your place to tell 2 little girls that the organization they belong to supports “bad things”.

And, I realize you can’t undo what you’ve done, and that it wasn’t done with malice, but If you are so inclined to speak on the matter again, you should probably take it up with adults active in the organization, or with the parents of these two, and not with the little girls.
I imagine if their parents are thinking anything, it’s along the lines of, “Telling two little girls who are selling cookies that they support bad things…what a jerk.”I actually thought of this, and that’s why I worded it like I did.

Exactly! The cookies aren’t made from real Girl Scouts!!!The girls only get to keep 50 cents per box sold for their troop. The organization has started allowing confused boys to join.
I will not buy ANY cookies…and anyway, there are copycat recipes online. The cookies are full of junk, but copy cat recipes can be controlled by ingredients.
Right; I’d say you have to weigh two things: the organization does “bad things” according to your or my religious beliefs, but the two girls have nothing to do with that and it’s a question whether it’s fair to punish them.While I can appreciate your dilemma, I’m not sure it was your place to tell 2 little girls that the organization they belong to supports “bad things”.

Nevertheless, the USCCB allows Catholic Girl Scout troops and Catholic scouting awards. While local troops may have some connection with PO, the national organization maintains a policy of neutrality on reproductive issues.Actually, they are connected with abortion. I watched a “Women of Grace” on this very thing, where Johnnette had two women and their young preteen daughters on her show discussing this. The episode was titled “On My Honor I Had To Leave Scouting” and can still be watched on the WOG website in their episode archives.
