It's Girl Scout Cookie season, so it's a great time to remind you that the Girl Scouts welcome trans and nonbinary children. Here is a list of trans Girl Scouts to order cookies from.
Meh. Their cookies suck imo. Over priced and the boxes are tiny. The lemon are decent and the chocolate mint are decent too the rest can be tossed into the ocean.
The mint ones are pretty good. But they will obviously be overpriced. The whole dealo is that they first buy cookies and then sell those same cookies for the fund raising. Same shit the boy scouts do with popcorn
I tried selling boy scout popcorn and that shit was a pain in the ass. It was like $10 for some microwave popcorn or something. Wasn't even good. Honestly, if you see these poor guys, donate money directly to them if you don't want to try the shit popcorn. (Thank you to the Eagle Scout Vons employee who donated $50 to Troop 1238!)
Yeah my troop (1238) have girls in it too (1238G). We were the first ones in our area to implement this as soon as the rules allowed us to do so.
Honestly, I have never experienced anything but good things in scouting. It very well could be regional, maybe in Texas or something they could be really racist and anti lgbt. It's pretty much dependent upon which people decide to volunteer their time and contribute to making a good troop.
Each troop is pretty self contained, for the most part. The one my son and I are involved with is very open. I was hesitant to let him join when he wanted because of all the issues in the past with the organization but now I'm his den leader with 6 other kids and an assistant leader.
Yeah one troop could be very progressive and nice but the troop over in the next park might be very conservative and close minded. It's pretty self-contained like you said.
