Earlier today I happened about a video. In this video, a Girl Scout Cadette calls for a boycott of Girl Scout cookies because Girl Scouts welcomes transgender girls. I'll let you watch the video yourself and make your own opinion but here is mine.
I wonder if she has even thought of the female-identifying people she is asking to be turned away. Is their mental safety & well-being not allowed to be protected? I believe that the safety of a minority that has higher odds of being bullied does matter. If that means letting female identifying kids enter a Girl Scout troop, then by all means let them.

She talks about the Girl Scout Law which states that a girl will do her best to be "honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do,and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout." In my opinion, she isn't living up to the law at all. I will be boycotting against her boycotting and will be buying LOTS of cookies this year. What she is saying, goes against everything I have learned in Girl Scouts. It makes me sad that she isn't willing to be a sister to every Girl Scout and still wears that uniform. I believe that Girl Scouts is for EVERY girl.
