CONFESSION FROM OUR
GIRL SCOUT CEO:

Kathy Cloninger

CLICK ON PICTURE (links to YouTube) to see GSUSA CEO Kathy Cloninger admit (and has not retracted) Girl Scouts partner with Planned Parenthood

FACTOID:
Did you know that radical feminist Betty Friedan, founder of NOW (National Organization for Women) and NARAL (National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League) was on the National Board of GSUSA for 12 years?

ONE OF THESE THINGS IS JUST LIKE THE OTHER:
See the proof that Girl Scouts and Planned Parenthood share the same ideology of explicit sex ed for children:

Planned Parenthood & Girl Scouts

LEARN TO SPEAK LIKE Planned Parenthood, UN, WHO and WAGGGS:

  • "Young People" = Ages 10 to 24 (there is no distinction between a pre-pubescent child and a full-grown adult with legal access to alcohol and pornography).

  • "Accessible" = without parental knowledge or consent.

  • "Comprehensive" "Informative" "Fact-based" "Good" Sex Education = every act, deviance and topic is presentable to children of any age.

  • "Inclusive" = gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender, intersex.

  • "Emergency contraception" = abortion.

  • "Peer Counseling" = bypassing parental consent and involvement by having children teach children about sex.

Do you have trouble believing the above bullets are accurate? Don't take our word for it,

A QUESTION for EVERYBODY

Are you willing to help us spread the word about GSUSA's connections to Planned Parenthood, United Nations and other organizations trying to push explicit sex education on young children?

If so, please take on one of the Open Questions and send us your answers.

If you are a GSUSA representative, a Regional Girl Scout Council representative, a local Girl Scout Service Unit team member, a parent, a Girl Scout or just a concerned human being wanting to know the truth, you can provide QUESTIONS and ANSWERS to HonestGirlScouts.com. So, start "connecting" with Girl Scouts and tell us what you find out. (Not every question/answer will be posted and will be chosen at the discretion of HonestGirlScouts.com).

OPEN QUESTIONS for WAGGGS

  1. How much does it cost to host a session at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women?

  2. Since WAGGGS advocates "youth counseling" and "peer education," does it anticipate teaching Girl Guides and Girl Scouts how to inject other children with abortifacients like IPPF announced it was doing last year?

  3. With the announcement of United Kingdom Scouts promoting more explicit sex education, does that mean a new WAGGGS badge is coming down the pike?

 

  

OPEN QUESTIONS for GSUSA
(Girl Scouts of the USA)

  1. Since we know that GSUSA is an Associate of WAGGGS (World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts), and a "quota" payment from GSUSA is triggered by each membership to belong to it, are there other organizations that we pay similar fees to -- like the WOSM (World Organisation of the Scouting Movement) and The International Scout and Guide Fellowship (ISGF) -- especially since we are listed partners through WAGGGS?

  2. In the 2009 GSUSA Annual Report (which listed a deficit of $5 million), part of the Operating Expenses includes a line item for "Communications / Other" at $10.3 million. Is it from this designation that GSUSA provides sponsorship of Planned Parenthood brochures and programs like Nobody's Fool and "Real Life. Real Talk," or does that money come from another line item?

  3. How much does it cost to send teenage American Girl Scout delegates to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women every year?

  4. Does GSUSA also pay for expenses of any non-delegate American Girl Scouts who help host any GSUSA-sponsored event at the United Nations? If so, how much does that cost?

  5. Since GSUSA's Sandy Thomas confirmed $1.4 million of "Operating Expenses / International Services" goes to WAGGGS for the associate quota, where specifically (please name names) does the other $1.9 million go?

  6. Did Girl Scouts of USA or Girl Scouts Bluebonnet Council in Texas pay to be a Co-Sponsor listed on the "Nobody's Fool" brochure?

Q&A: HonestGirlScouts.com

2011

  • I am a young woman who was involved in Girl Scouts as a child and have just become aware of their ties with planned parenthood via news about the HIV pamphlet and would like to see a copy of the [It's] Perfectly Normal [book]. (I am 23 years old) --K.M., Virginia

Attached is the file you requested for "It's Perfectly Normal," the publication given out to 5th-8th grade children at the "Nobody's Fool" event co-sponsored by the Girl Scouts of Bluebonnet Council in Texas (image of sponsorship attached). It is important to note two things:

1) When was the last time a co-sponsor got their logo printed on a brochure without contributing a fee or donation, even if only in in-kind services? Wouldn't any resources (money, supplies or volunteered time) given by the Council be a misuse of cookie money, being that cookie sales are the largest source of funding for Councils?

2) This same Planned Parenthood facility's director, Pam Smallwood, was "honored" by this Girl Scout Council with a "Woman of Distinction" Award. In other words, she was nominated by Girl Scout members and was chosen and approved by Council representatives. Another "informal" endorsement of Planned Parenthood's agenda.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. There is even earlier evidence of Girl Scouts' sexualizing children in 1994.

Thanks - that was so heart breaking. What were the reasons they gave to young girls for having an abortion? I'd like to know how they chose to try and indoctrinate... --K.M., Virginia

9 Reasons To Abort

  • I'm trying to discern the Girl Scout connection to Planned Parenthood in terms of financial kickbacks to PP…can you simplify this for me to understand well and pass the truth on to others? --M.K., (state unknown)

As of today, [March 14] the only "evidentiary" indication we have of financial kickbacks are from Abby Johnson's [Former Planned Parenthood Director] Facebook postings. We have HonestGirlScouts.com members trying to reach her for clarification on her statement that "There is a money exchange." The context of her statement was that each time Girl Scouts sponsors Planned Parenthood literature, they pay for the privilege. There are examples of such sponsorship on our website:

http://www.honestgirlscouts.com/discover_pp_history.html

Be sure to see the images at the bottom half of the page.

When you think of it, when was the last time you or your company ever received a printed sponsorship or were listed as being a "partner" on a brochure without making a donation or paying for advertising? None of us can.

For now, that is the best we can give, but we have only just begun to build our website, and surely, all the other evidence provided shows a clear, "informal," ideological connection between the two entities.

  • I am not only concerned with the association with PP [Planned Parenthood], but with the overall philosophical leaning of the new aims and literature of the overall organization. I see they have designed the program in a politically leftward direction and want to encourage girls to become leftist political activists, especially in the upper high school ages... I am yet undecided about what to do personally (whether to continue or to quit)... Please advise me of how other concerned leaders are viewing the situation. -- L.W., Missouri

The new agenda for Girl Scouts is to DISCOVER-CONNECT-TAKE ACTION.Use these steps to stand up for what YOU believe in, not what they dictate. We at HonestGirlScouts.com already Discovered the lies, we attempted to Connect with our Councils and GSUSA, so now it is time to Take Action. If you feel the same way, consider the following: take control of your own troop's finances instead of financing GSUSA through cookie sales, uniforms, badges, etc:

    • SELL THE MINIMUM to be in "good standing" with your council. In some councils, troops are only "required" to PARTICIPATE in Council-wide sales before they are free to fundraise in other ways. Try JUST ONE BOX and "sell" (or buy) just one box of cookies donated to the military. This One Box needs to only be sold for the ENTIRE TROOP. This is a great solution for two reasons: 1) A soldier gets the snack and 2) There is not a full-carton minimum of 12 boxes. How are you able to get away with this? Most Councils clearly state that no girl is REQUIRED to sell anything to be a Girl Scout.

    • "JUST ONE BOX" ECONOMICS: In the Girl Scouts of California's Central Coast Council, girls get 70 cents for each $4 box sold. To earn $100, girls have to sell 143 boxes of cookies (and Council makes $349!) If our Councils are going to turn a deaf ear to our concerns, they need to feel it in the pocketbooks; then maybe they will listen.

    • KEEP THE TROOP FUN with fundraising.
      • Have a well-advertised garage sale. Also sell beverages to shoppers
      • Have a recycling event, or volunteer to set up recycling containers and redeem them for the troop
      • Have a bake sale, baking all the items as a troop instead of just asking the parents to do it
      • Host a Girl Scout event with a reasonable fee, like a My Guy & Me Dance, She & Me Tea, Bowling Night, etc.

    • GO GIRL-SCOUT RETRO: Original scouts made their own uniforms:
      • Teach your girls how to sew their own sashes
      • Buy patches from other sources
      • Teach your girls to embroider their troop number or the troop crest

    • RECYCLE-REUSE-REDUCE
      • Get hand-me-down books instead of paying more to GSUSA, or find internet listings of requirements for badges, etc.
      • Do not buy the Journey books

    • THINK GLOBALLY, ACT LOCALLY:
      • Support your local Service Unit with volunteer service and/or donations
      • Continue to serve the community with service
      • HELP SPREAD THE WORD about HonestGirlScouts.com
  • Is [GSUSA] involved with Planned Parenthood as well at the international level...? I just conversed with a troop leader and she is under the impression [GSUSA] is a separate entity and has NO involvement with Planned Parenthood. -- M.K., (state unknown)

    Yes, Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) has an "informal" relationship with Planned Parenthood. All that means is, they don't have anything "formal" like a signed agreement. On the HonestGirlScouts.com website, the right side of every page has a video with Girl Scout CEO Kathy Cloninger admitting to it in her own words. Please look at it.

    On this page...

    http://www.honestgirlscouts.com/discover_pp_history.html

    ...there are many examples of BOTH GSUSA and WAGGGS partnering with either Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). They separately have partnered with Planned Parenthood and jointly, at the United Nations.

    If you will just direct that troop leader to the website, the proof is plentiful. Especially the page showing that NO MATTER WHAT, American Girl Scouts fund the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts with every membership, thereby making the statement that they are separate a LIE:

    http://www.honestgirlscouts.com/discover_money.html

    Also remind her, that IF WE ARE SEPARATE, why are we supposed to wear the WAGGGS pin ABOVE the Girl Scout pin on our uniform tab? Why is "Girl Scouts" part of the WAGGGS name? Why does our membership trigger payment for our "association" in the "World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts."
