Is the new GSUSA, CEO Anna Marie Chavez (reportedly Catholic) pro-abortion? In 2009 Chavez spoke at a women’s event co-sponsored by the local Planned Parenthood.  Would a Catholic be seen at these events?  Ideology at work: Girl Scouts CEO Anna Maria Chavez  Article written by Mary Hasson, Catholic News Agency 3/1/12

Please print/pass out our cookie protest flyer showing Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta has partnerships/relationships with 4 different pro-abortion advocacy groups including Planned Parenthood.  We are requesting people please do not buy/sell cookies.  See what Al Kresta (Ave Maria Radio) and Austin Ruse (CFAM) say about cookie sales on these 2 video clips.  Our hope is that you will simply make a donation to the Girl Scout troop (all this money would stay in the troop for the girls to use – none will go to the council).  See how the Atlanta council would not survive financially if the girls didn't sell cookies.

Recent investigations show concerns about the NFCYM, including information on the NFCYM's own website that link Catholics to pro-abortion organizations.  In addition, a book authored by the NFCYM Executive Director, Bob McCarty, provides problematic recommendations to pro-abortion websites.  To view more troubling issues please see our NFCYM page.

Our
News: All
Girl Scouts are members of WAGGGS through collaborated websites, activities, and finances.  This intricate relationship with local Girl Scout troops is extremely disconcerting because WAGGGS promotes and advocates a campaign for “sexual and reproductive health services,” including “emergency contraception in order to avoid unintended pregnancies” and accessible, affordable … abortions” as stated on their website. 

Girl Scout BOOKS and WEBSITES: GSUSA books that are purchased by families at the local Girl Scout council level.  Some of the literature lists websites that girls can explore which leads them to Planned Parenthood and other Pro-Choice websites. Some of the books list known pro-abortion women advocates for young Girl Scouts to emulate.

Our mission group includes 1 former Girl Scout Leader, 4 former Girl Scouts, 4 families and a spiritual director.  We launched www.girlscoutswhynot.com on May 8th, 2010.  Our mission group is exposing the connection of Girl Scouts to Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion advocacy groups and individuals. We are asking all Catholic parishes and schools worldwide to sever ties with GSUSA and WAGGGS. 

The About page contains information about our “Parents for Life” mission group, our mission goals, and intentions.

Q: Does any of the money from cookie sales go to Girl Scouts of the USA?  

A: The baker that produces the cookies pays a royalty check to the Girl Scouts of the USA for the use of their Girl Scout licensed trademark on each and every box of cookies that each Girl Scout sells in every state, city, town, school, and church.
