This makes me proud to be a former girl scout.

So this is good and all but I can be super cynical. Any chance this is a set up? Because like the timing of this is amazing PR wise and that letter sounds fishy.

Honestly- I kinda thought the same thing. Like, hey, well that is a good way to get a fund raising push.

But I bet it's real. It makes sense that a donor would want that clarified in light of Caitlyn Jenner being so prevalent right now.

I didn't expect the story to go this way considering the history of the boy scouts. Different organizations, but I always lump them together in my mind.

Yeah, the girl guides have always been way more progressive than the boy scouts, thankfully. Whenever there is a kerfuffle about the Boy Scouts doing something stupid the Girl Scouts have to jump up and down going "Not us!"
