    Ironically girl scouts are woke. Haven’t they always been for the empowerment of girls? Teaching them how to be more confident and self sufficient lul. I’m surprised they haven’t been targeted yet by that crowd tbh.

      Literally since before the beginning of the GSA. The founder of the BSA Robert Baden-Powell ran a newsletter for the early Boy Scouts and in 1909 he wrote, “If a girl is not allowed to run, or even hurry, to swim, ride a bike, or raise her arms above her head, how can she become a Scout?”
