Story from the Washington Times.
Girl Scouts USA sponsored a session at UN Status of Woman conference where Planned Parenthood distributed brochures to adolescent Girl Scouts with no parents present. What was in the pamphlets produced by Planned Parenthood?
Excerpt:
[the pamphlet] …explained to the girls, “Some people have sex when they have been drinking or using drugs. That is your choice.”
But it gets worse. The sex guide explains, “Many people think sex is just about vaginal or anal intercourse. But there are lots of different ways to have sex and lots of different types of sex. Sex can include kissing, touching, licking, tickling, sucking and cuddling. Some people like to have aggressive sex, while others like to have soft sex and slow sex with their partners. There is no right or wrong way to have sex. Just have fun, explore and be yourself!” It tells girls to explore the prostate. Remember, this was distributed in a panel for adolescent girls.
Besides advice about the prostate, the brochure, subtitled “Rights, Sexuality and Living with HIV,” also gives incorrect and even dangerous information about rights and responsibilities. It tells the kids that, “sexual and reproductive rights are recognized around the world.” Sexual rights are hardly recognized around the world. They are not even recognized here in the sexual paradise of the United States. The brochure tells the kids that their rights are violated when governments require them to tell their HIV status to their sex partners.
[…]At the same UN meeting, which ended last Friday, the World Association of Girl Scouts and Girl Guides produced a document saying young women “demand their sexual and reproductive rights including access to comprehensive sexuality education, and sexual and reproductive services including contraception and emergency contraception, in order to avoid unintended pregnancies” and also called for access to “safe abortion.”
[…]At a Girl Scout conference in 2004, co-sponsored by Planned Parenthood, the Girl Scouts handed out a brochure to 700 grade-school girls with the title “It’s Perfectly Normal,” a guide that celebrated masturbation and that featured explicit drawings of couples having sex and a boy putting on a condom. It also listed, no surprise here, the top ten reasons for having an abortion.
I think women used to be pro-life and pro-family, but not any more. Today it seems as though the older feminists are anxious to push younger women to perform actions that undermine romantic love, stable marriages and self-sacrificial parenting.
Thanks for the link and quotes from this article. My wife asked me this morning whether we wanted to enroll our daughter for the Girl Scouts and I mentioned reading this story (from another source) to her.
Sad too, because I really want to find a good girls organization that WON’T teach my daughter to be a whore, err, “liberated woman”.
Oh well, guess I’ll have to settle for sending her to a convent :-P

The part that scares me is that grown women encourage young women to embark on path that will cause them to be hurt so much.

Why not just teach her your own values, and be confident that she will find them worth keeping, and your example worth living up to?
Kids have to be let out into the world some time, you can’t shelter them forever.

Offenses must come — but woe to those by whom they come! It would be better that a millstone were hung around their neck and they were cast into the sea, rather than offend one of these little ones who belong to Jesus.

What does that have to do with what I said above, or did I miss “fling out random bible verse” day?

You can’t shelter them forever, but while they’re young you should. They need to learn how to distinguish between wants right and wrong before you let them go. That’s your job as a parent. When they’re ready, you ease them into the real world. When they’re ready.

If your looking for a good alternative to Girl Scouts, I would recommend American Heritage Girls. My son has been in boy scouts for some time, and my Kindergarten daughter wanted to be in Girl Scouts. I haven’t been thrilled about their practices, so I researched and found AHG. I just finished chartering a troop for my daughter and she loves it. http://www.ahgonline.org
