[Winona Online Democracy] I can't speak for your Girl Scout leader/leaders; but when I was a leader (in Calif.) my girls worked very hard to get badges and awards. I always made sure that at every meeting they learned something. As for cookie sales, my girls also sold them a troop and never competed against each other; I felt that was more fair than who sold the most. Now that I am in MN, I have a daughter that is in Scouts and she doesn't earn any badges either and I haven't seen anything being taught in the Scouts either. As for gays in Girl Scouts; Girl Scouts allows all people to be part of Scouts; even men and their sons go to the resident camps. I have known a few gay people in Girl Scouts and a few girls that were lesbians in Scouts. Girl Scouts doesn't discriminate against anyone. I hope that this helps you with your questions.
