WASHINGTON, D.C. – The national Girl Scout cookie boycott of 2014 instituted by American Life League Associate group Pro-Life Waco has drawn a tremendous amount of media attention.

In fact, a February 6 Breitbart article says that a search for CookieCott 2014 returned 35,000 results. Today’s search, performed 12 days later by yours truly, returned 51,300 results.

This huge media response has put Girl Scouts USA in the position of trying to defend itself. Girl Scout hierarchy is sending letters to parents of Girl Scouts saying it has no relationship with Planned Parenthood, that local councils don’t give money to WAGGGS, etc. But the evidence is readily available and indisputable.

At American Life League, we have had several inquiries wanting to know how to find the evidence to rebut these claims. Here are some websites and some tips that can help you.

You can find well-documented evidence about the Girl Scouts’ relationship with WAGGGS here. 

WAGGGS “aggressively promotes youth reproductive/abortion and sexual rights, specifically on behalf of its 10 million members.” Pro-Life blogger Jill Stanek said it best, when she said that Planned Parenthood and WAGGGS are “joined at the hip.”

In fact, Girl Scouts USA cofounded WAGGGs and continues to maintain membership.

You will also see on this site that GSUSA paid over $1.8 million to WAGGGS in 2007 alone, and that when a Girl Scout pays her $12 membership dues, this triggers a payment to WAGGGS from GSUSA.

As for the direct relationship of GSUSA with Planned Parenthood, perhaps the most binding evidence is this interview with GSUSA CEO Kathy Cloninger, who says, “We have relationships with . . . Planned Parenthood organizations across the country to bring information based sex education programs to girls.”

You can see more information about GSUSA’s relationship with WAGGGS and Planned Parenthood on the “Girl Scouts, Why Not?” website.

Pro-life concerns regarding individual councils are documented in detail by Ann Saladin on her MyGirlScoutCouncil.com website here.

These websites and others have well-researched, fully documented, easily accessible answers to these and other arguments that are being proffered in an attempt to establish distance between Girl Scouts and Planned Parenthood. Take advantage of them as you continue to educate about the necessity of organizations that deal with children, such as Girl Scouts, sincerely and truly severing all ties with Planned Parenthood and its cohorts. It’s one thing to scrub a website and say, “We have no relationship.” It’s another thing to actually sever all ties.
