19. i saw a report on the girl scouts several years ago |
|
it was 20/20 or nightline or something
basically it reported that they were really not like the boy scouts
the girl scouts were all about corporate crap--making those running the organization wealthy--the money the girls raised was not funneled back down to them like it is with the boy scouts--
i was horrified after hearing this report
my daughter was not a girl scout i probably would not have let her be a girl scout if she had wanted to be
it was not a positive report--like i said, it was all about the money that mostly gets pocketed at the top of the org.
maybe it's changed but ???
i still buy a box of cookies from the neighbors, but i know the cut they're getting out of it is like 2 percent and compared to the boy scouts (i can't remember exactly what the difference was--but it was a huge difference) i would say the girl scouts definitely discriminate on the basis of gender. (and by that i mean they encourage or used to encourage these girls to sell sell sell and they gave practically nothing back to them)
