Time to go out and buy some Girl Scout cookies, all!

Last October, Girl Scouts USA welcomed a 7-year-old transgender girl among its ranks. The organization released a surprisingly but welcomingly progressive statement: “Girl Scouts is an inclusive organization and we accept all girls in Kindergarten through 12th grade as members. If a child identifies as a girl and the child’s family presents her as a girl, Girl Scouts of Colorado welcomes her as a Girl Scout.”

I caught this on my daughter's Facebook which mentions another transgender girl welcomed in to a local troop. I'll leave the details off for privacy, and beg pardon if my nomenclature is incorrect!

7. What a dork--good luck with that. Nothing will keep my crew from those damn chocolate thin mints!

Boycott? I'll tell him where to shove his boycott!

2. I plan on ordering extra this year.

Just to spite the anti-inclusiveness jerks that are trying to organize the boycott. Shame on them!

3. If you'd rather save the calories - you can donate directly to your

local troop or council!

8. Guess that boycott isn't working

My 8 yr old has sold over 200 boxes and it only took her about 2 hours
