It just a week ago people was excited to ordered and tasted the new Lemon Cookie on the 100^th Girl Scout’s Anniversary. They appreciate the cookie and the organization. Now it’s getting louder about ‘calling for a boycott’ of Girl Scout cookies.

Parents start to say no to the troops offering the cookie because Girl Scout Organization applied some decision such as; allow a transgender child join the organization, Planned Parenthood, and justify abortion. They consider Girl Scout no longer to be the ‘pro-choice’.

Calling for boycott especially issued to protest the inclusion of a 7-year-old transgender child in Colorado last year. Parents and teens argue that allowing transgender child into the organization is contradict with the social and scout values.

A man has different point of view. “If a little boy, who identifies as a girl, wants to be a part of the groups, why not? The girls at the troop don’t have to know. He doesn’t have to be treated any differently. If he wants to be a girl, he deserves to be included, and treated of equally, as anyone else.” He added for the Parenthood Program, “As for Planned Parenthood, teenagers SHOULD be taught about healthy sex. Planned Parenthood’s main purpose is not abortion. It is to provide support for women, mothers and families. Teaching young girls about safe sexual practices is healthy, and far less damaging than hiding the facts for them.”

According to the Daily News, a teen who identifies herself as Taylor recorded an eight minute video in order to persuade people say no to Girl Scout Cookie until the organization agrees to ban transgender member. The video was posted to honestgirlscout.com, a group that encourages the Girl Scout to eliminate sex education and insist on return to the traditional values listed in Girl Scout of USA congressional charter that includes the words ‘qualities of truth, purity’.

So far, there’s no indication of Girl Scout prefers to consider the calling. The organization defended their policies, it stated by a spokeswoman,” For 100 years, Girl Scout has prided itself on being an inclusive organization serving girls from all values of life. We handle cases involving transgender children on a-case by case basis with a focus on ensuring the welfare and best interest of the child, question and the other girls in the troop as our highest priority.
