Wait I'm confused, are they trying to ban the Girl Scouts?
Or is this like, the organization formerly known as "Boy Scouts" is just "Scouts" now, (like it's Co-ed scouts) and the chuds are pissed at that because boys are now playing with girls?
Jesus, these fuckwits get pissy about the stupidest fucking shit.

    It's the organization formerly called the "Boy Scouts". The Girl Scouts is a wholely independent organization that doesn't, to my knowledge, receive money from the government to operate, hence Girl Scout cookies as a revenue source to fund activities.

    I'm sure if Pedonald's goons find some way to punish Girl Scouts, they will surely pursue it.

    But yeah, holding funds over Scouts is something they hope to lord over the Scouts, and all so they can make girls in Scouts cry, I guess? I mean that's the likely outcome here if the Scouts cave to these fucking demons.

    I'm pretty sure the Scouts organization is going to tell him to eat grass because despite that government funding a few years ago they were going into bankruptcy. That is until they stopped being the "Boy" Scouts and opened up their membership.

    It's the second one. Girl Scouts they have a separate beef with, I'm sure. But this is about Scouts being accepting of girls, because that "violates "DEI, because these assholes have decided they have a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY on tolerance.

    I wish I was fucking kidding.

    I hope all the pious jackasses that told me (and keep telling me) that Kamala/Biden was just as bad are fucking happy with themselves...

    From what I understand, the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts are completely separate organisations in the US, and also quite different in their outlook, with the Girl Scouts being very inclusive and somewhat progressive, while the Boy Scouts are a bastion of male chauvinism, patriarchal values, intimidation and sexual abuse.

    A couple of years ago, the Boy Scouts tried to change that, and apparently that's really upsetting to Hegseth.

    The Boy Scouts made the decision in 2017 to start admitting girls and in 2018 started carrying that out. I think their split with Mormons really hurt membership and this was a way to increase membership.

    As others have said - long before that, it was often the case that siblings and mothers (as leaders) were involved in troop activities anyway.

    And yes, this story has nothing to do with Girl Scouts because as you say, they are an entirely different org.

    Gonna play dipshit's advocate here for a minute and say that canceling funding for Scouts based on DEI is pretty low-key evil compared to their perception that Kamala was personally flying planes over to Palestine and dropping nuclear cluster agent-orange munitions on the women and children there.

    Could not agree more. If Kamala were president none of this shit would be happening. Alex Pretti, Renee Nicole Good, and dozens of others would still be alive, thousands of families would not have been destroyed. Anyone who says "The Democrats are just as bad" are on crack.

    Don't forget that she also wouldn't be doing stupid shit like destroying the East wing (literally), slapping her name on the arts center, talking about ballrooms and arches, grifting like a motherfucker (to the tune of 1.4 billion), kidnapping foreign leaders and stealing their assets, casually talking about invading/annexing other countries including allies....and all while the economy is imploding due to tariffs and while people are unemployed through direct actions done by the administration/party and while people having their health care and food security torn away.

    The bOtHsIdeS dumbasses can pound sand.
