What used to be "Camp Fire Girls" changed some time in the 60's or 70's I think to admit both girls and boys, and changed its name to "Camp Fire."

Yeah, I've seen it called Campfire Kids or Campfire USA. Seems to me there's another one too but I can't think of it

What was your reaction to the Boy Scouts welcoming, protecting and shielding 5000 child molesting Scout leaders for decades? Hmm... Now where have I heard of an institution with a high moral mission systemically prioritizing scandal prevention over the health and welfare of the children in their trust before? :chin:

I wonder how many of those Boy Scout troops were sponsored by Catholic churches? Oh wait, that was rhetorical. Nevermind.

P. serious doctor.
Which is really confusing, since he and his "longtime companion" Glenn Beck are raising a child together:

This campaign seems to be backfiring pretty spectacularly:

Girl Scout Launches Cookie Boycott Campaign After Organization's Inclusion Of Transgender Child (VIDEO)

The video was pretty awful, and the original is now listed as private, but if you want to see the hatin', there are probably copies out there.

My girl scout cookie policy has always been that I buy as many as I can with however much cash I have in my wallet, so I guess I have to start carrying around more moneys to express my support.

Campaign is right, this is certainly not the work of a lone Girl Scout angry at the system.

From lisa's linkypoo:

Quote:
Last fall's decision to admit Bobby Montoya after initially excluding her has already been met with considerable controversy. In December, three Louisiana-based leaders resigned and dissolved their troops in the wake of the incident, with one calling it "an almost dangerous situation" for children, according to The Baptist Press.
I, for one, want to know why The Press refuses to cover the almost dangerous results the CHILDREN have suffered associating with this fa "transgendered 'male.'"





For I am sure they are extraordinary.
