    If the issue is they broke the rules, then tell them they broke the rules and specify which ones.

    Instead; they hid behind a completely bullshit ‘we don’t participate in political activities’ excuse.

    If it’s not about shying away from political activities, then don’t say it’s about shying away from political activities. Pretty simple.

      Except the Girl Scouts never said that they don’t participate in political activities, that was an editorialized line from the article author. Having dealt with the Girl Scouts a lot I have absolutely no doubt that they told the troop which rules they broke. In fact, it is drilled into EVERY leader of the Girl Scouts that this type of fund raising under the Girl Scouts banner is not allowed.

      What we have in this article is one side of the story meant to push a narrative.
