Girl Scout Cookies & Boy Scout Discrimination
by SAB on Mar.26, 2009, under News
The Girl Scouts were in selling their delicious little cookies today. I was a good citizen and bought a few boxes, and noticed that some of the iconic Girl Scout Cookie names had changed! Samoas no more, now they’re Caramel De-Lites! The Girl Scouts informed me that there was some kind of hand over of the lucrative Girl Scout Cookie Contract – however it appears the cookies still contain 0% Girl Scouts.
Now I have to wait until the Boy Scouts come to the store, so I can inform them that I don’t buy their cookies. I never press the point, but if they ask why I’m always happy to answer: The Boy Scouts discriminate against women, non-Christians, and homosexuals. All with government support, no less.
It might sound cruel to say words like that to an innocent Boy Scout who’s just trying to get enough money to go camping… but can you imagine the look of a young scout being told he can’t continue in the program anymore because he wants to love someone (who happens to be another man?) Honesty’s the best policy… at least that’s what my Scout Master said.
