What a sad fucking end to a once magnificent organization, 
destroyed by liberalism and weak homosexual Obama democrat 
leadership.

Gutless cunts.  These are the kind of people who need to be 
strung up by their necks until the crows pick their bones clean, 
and wind scatters the remainder to the ground.

In 1912, Juliette Gordon Low created Girl Scouts to provide 
girls with opportunities to develop into strong, independent, 
successful women. Today, we continue to offer research-based 
programs for girls with their learning styles and development in 
mind.

For the past century we’ve been acutely focused on dispelling 
gender stereotypes and creating a space exclusively for girls to 
learn and grow. We are determined as ever to stay on this path 
so that more girls, through Girl Scouting, gain confidence, seek 
challenges and become active decision-makers and proficient 
problem-solvers to the greatest degree possible — and, frankly, 
so they are better equipped to navigate a world that is still, 
regrettably, filled with gender bias.

Last week, the Boy Scouts of America unveiled its new name, 
Scouts BSA, to reflect its decision to now accept girls in its 
program. What we haven’t seen is any strategy or details about 
the programming they will be offering to effectively serve a co-
ed group of children. Girl Scouts, however, has remained true to 
its mission and developed a national, strategic initiative to 
expand the depth of its programs to meet the needs of girls 
today and in the future, offering new opportunities for girls to 
explore the outdoors, build technology skills and encourage 
entrepreneurship.

To create more female leaders, we start young and make sure 
today’s girls are acquiring the courage, confidence, character 
and skills they need to take the reins of leadership in the 21st 
century. Girl Scouts develops programs that address a girl’s 
physical, emotional and mental development — focusing on the 
total girl — highlighting those areas that help girls to grow 
and become successful business owners, scientists, engineers, 
doctors, civic leaders and environmental stewards.

Our programmatic focus on girls creates an environment where 
they will be called upon, where they will have an opportunity to 
try their hand at a variety of activities and where they are 
always expected to succeed. Most importantly we have created a 
girl-led environment where girls get to make the decisions; in 
Girl Scouts, there is no prescribed layout for what a girl must 
do. This girl-led process helps girls to find their voice, 
learning at an early age to speak up and speak out, creating a 
better future for their entire community and culminating with 
the opportunity in high school to earn the coveted Gold Award, 
earning them college scholarships and higher rank in the 
military.

Girl Scouts has been a key driver of workforce development for 
women for over a century. In the United States, 80 percent of 
female tech leaders, 73 percent of current female senators, 90 
percent of female astronauts who have traveled in space, and 50 
percent of female business owners are Girl Scout alumna.

Girl Scouts has worked closely with girls, volunteers, and staff 
to ensure its programs are what girls want and need. For 
example, if girls want to be able to protect themselves online, 
we have cyber security badges for that; if they want to be an 
engineer, we have badges for that; and if they want to 
experience adventure-filled outdoor activities, we have badges 
for that too.

National partnerships with Toyota Financial Services and 
Motorola along with local supporters such as BGE, Carefirst, 
Inovalon, Lion Brothers, Northrop Grumman, T Rowe Price and WR 
Grace allows us to provide innovative programming to more than 
20,000 girls throughout central Maryland including more than 
4,000 through in-school, after-school and summer programs for 
girls in underserved communities.

Girl Scouts are not merging (and have no plans to merge) with 
the Boy Scouts, despite the Boy Scouts name change. To prepare 
girls today to be the world’s leaders of tomorrow, Girl Scouts 
will provide them with an unparalleled leadership experience 
when they are young — an experience that can only come from the 
best leadership organization for girls in the world. Girl Scouts 
brings a wealth of knowledge that provides girls cornerstone 
experiences with benefits to last a lifetime.

Violet M. Apple is CEO of Girl Scouts of Central Maryland, and 
Lynne M. Durbin is GSCM’s board chair. They can be reached at
