It's that time of the year again, when Girl Scouts are out and about,
trying to get you buy their cookies.
Here's an updated version of a post

Girl Scouts USA (GSUSA) is beginning its annual cookie sales drive.
Here are 5 reasons NOT to buy those cookies:
1. Girl Scouts promote Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in
the United States
See “Abortion accounts for 94% of Planned Parenthood’s for-profit business
<http://fellowshipoftheminds.com/2015/01/02/abortion-accounts-for-94-of-planned-parenthoods-for-profit-business/>
.”
Judie Brown, president of the American Life League <http://www.all.org/> (ALL),
America’s oldest Catholic pro-life education and advocacy group,
warns: “The Girl Scouts was once a trusted organization dedicated to
character building in young girls and women. Now, GSUSA is abusing that
trust. Most parents and grandparents remain painfully unaware the GSUSA has
introduced so-called ‘family planning’ ideology in its curriculum and
promotes groups like Planned Parenthood to our daughters and
granddaughters.”
For its part, the American Family Association <http://www.afa.net/> (AFA), with
its several million constituents and special divisions like
OneMillionMoms.com which specifically work to influence corporate America,
asks us to consider what Girl Scouts USA supports with the money from sales
of their cookies. In a statement on its website
<http://afa.net/Detail.aspx?id=2147542941>, AFA says: “It’s hard to say no
to those little girls in the green and brown sashes, but *buying Girl Scout
cookies serves only to further facilitate a very liberal pro-abortion
agenda.*”
Christy Volanski
<http://www.lifenews.com/2013/12/04/what-every-pro-lifer-needs-to-know-about-the-girl-scouts-link-to-planned-parenthood/>
of
LifeNews.com, whose two daughters are former Girl Scouts, warns us not to
be fooled by Girl Scouts' assurance that the national organization has no
partnership with Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the
United States. Not only does GSUSA laud Planned Parenthood founder Margaret
Sanger as an “eloquent woman” to young girls, *GSUSA is part of several
organizations, including the coalition for Adolescent Girls and the World
Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, which advocate for abortion.*
On March 5, 2004 on NBC's *Today* show, Kathy Cloninger, Girl Scouts CEO
from 2003-2011 admitted that
<http://lesfemmes-thetruth.blogspot.com/2015/02/its-girl-scout-cookie-time-again-avoid.html>some
*local Girl Scout councils partner "with Planned Parenthood organizations*
across the country to bring information-based sex education programs to
girls."
Some examples of local Girl Scout groups that "work with" Planned
Parenthood:
- Girl Scouts of Northern California refers "at risk" girls to Planned
Parenthood for help with "family planning."
- Girl Scouts of San Diego featured a Planned Parenthood "Community
Engagement Manager" as a speaker.
- Girl Scouts of Western New York works with Planned Parenthood and
other pro-abortion groups in programs aimed at tween/teen girls "to reduce
teen pregnancy."
Here are 4 more reasons NOT to buy Girl Scouts cookies. 2. Girl Scouts
promote pornOGRAPHY
The Girl Scouts council in Waco, for 14 years, has worked with Planned
Parenthood to put on a sex conference called "Nobody's Fool" for girls in
grades 5 to 9. Among materials distributed at this conference in 2003,
was a graphic book called *It's Perfectly Normal: Changing Bodies, Growing
up, Sex, and Sexual Health*, containing images deemed too obscene for
prison inmates. Here's a video describing the pornographic book.
In 2010
<http://lesfemmes-thetruth.blogspot.com/2015/02/its-girl-scout-cookie-time-again-avoid.html>,
GSUSA sponsored a a workshop with several other groups at the U.N. during
its Commission on the status of women. It was a girls only event and adults
were barred. Among the materials available to participants was a booklet
called, *Healthy, Happy and Hot: a Young Person's Guide to Their Rights,
Sexuality and Living with HIV* -- a graphic piece of porn for children that
"there are lots of different ways to have sex and lots of different types
of sex....Just have fun, explore, and be yourself." *The booklet even tells
kids they need not tell their sex partners if they have HIV and
encourages *"safer
sex" and *"safe abortion."*
3. *Girl Scouts also extol **communists, radical feminists, and lesbians. *

*4. Most of the money from cookie sales does not go to the Girl Scout troop*
A girl's troop keeps an average of just 10 to 20%
<http://mygirlscoutcouncil.com/uploads/3/2/6/7/3267198/cookies_faq_troop_councils_revenue.pdf>
of
the money she collects from selling cookies. The local council receives an
average of 65 to 75%
<http://mygirlscoutcouncil.com/uploads/3/2/6/7/3267198/cookies_faq_troop_councils_revenue.pdf>
of
the money collected by all local troops. The biggest profiteer from those
cookie sales is Girl Scouts USA, which collects a royalty payment
<http://mygirlscoutcouncil.com/uploads/3/2/6/7/3267198/cookies_faq_gsusa_revenue.pdf>
based
upon its licensed trademark on every box of cookies produced. With
approximately 200 million boxes
<http://www.nbcnews.com/id/42270952/ns/business-small_business/t/how-girl-scouts-built-their-million-cookie-empire/#.Us6Uo9JDtmc>
of cookies sold annually, this amounts to millions of dollars of funding
for GSUSA every year. (From "Where Does the Cookie Money Go?
<http://mygirlscoutcouncil.com/2015-cookie-flier.html>")
*5. The cookies are high in calories and sugar*
*They also contain stuff you wouldn't put in your cookies (partially
hydrogenated vegetable oil, lecithin, caramel coloring)** if you bake them
yourselves. *

So just say no to those cute little girls outside Walmart and Target, and
tell the adults why.
