I'm printing out your piece for my partner, Joylyn. She works for a GS
Council, and constantly hears whining about Girl Scouts and how bad it is. (One
theme seems to be adults who boast with pride, "I was kicked out of Girl Scouts!"
We suspect their parents pulled them out because they were tired of getting
calls about how disruptive they are, then told them they were kicked out.)

Beth will appreciate someone talking about the positives for a change.

While I'm thinking of it, I have a rant. Recently the Philadelphia area Boy
Scout council's board unanimously voted in a non-discrimination policy
(including about sexual orientation). A long-time teenage Boy Scout then came out in a
newspaper interview...and was kicked out. Sigh...
