Past or present-anyone (or their daughter) a GS? I was wondering if you think it's a positive experience for girls.
Got into a recent argument w/ a fundie about GS. They stated that they would never allow their daughter to join such a group since it makes them "want to act more like men." You can guess what my response was to that asshat.
I'm a former GS and a current volunteer/leader. My daughter is a GS. I feel that their programs are very supportive for girls and teach girls about self sufficiency. I also feel that they give our girls the chance to explore things outside of their environment and offer them the support to go for their dreams.
Any thoughts out there about the Girl Scouts/Girl Guides (for you international posters)?
