blogs.ajc.com/jay-bookman-blog/2012/05/11/why-are-the-catholic-bishops-investigating-the-girl-scouts/In 2010, C-Fam charged that at a UN meeting, the Girl Scouts had distributed to young girls a “sex guide” titled “Happy, Healthy and Hot: A Young Person’s Guide to Their Rights, Sexuality and Living with HIV.” The Girl Scouts, as explained in the excerpt above, said no such thing happened. But that appears to be the genesis of this whole crusade. As one indication of just how ridiculous the whole thing has become, in 2010 C-FAM announced new evidence of the alleged ties, explaining that it “has learned that at least one regional director of the Girl Scouts comes from the ranks of Planned Parenthood personnel. In 2004, the Great Plains Council of Girl Scouts, representing 11,000 girls, hired Beverly Todd Nolte as their CEO. Previously, Nolte had held marketing and lobbying positions with Planned Parenthood of Nebraska and Council Bluffs.

I consider my time with the cub scouts,Catholic scouts(can't call them boy scouts anymore as they admit girls here) and venture scouts an integral part of my education,including sexual education. Scouts will never be the prudish organisation right wingers want it to be as it is peopled by teenagers. They taught me to be a responsible teenager and never go diving without a wetsuit.

When I was in the Brownie's the most sex ed. we got was watching the bulls go at it. Well it gave the general idea and that's about it.

I went all the way to Sr. Girl Scouts and actually worked as a couselor for the Girl Scout camp in NC the summer I was a Jr. I just didn't have the time for it by my Sr. year. I tried to get my daughter involved here but after taking her to a few meetings it waspainfully obvious she was not happy. Scouting isn't the same these days. We never once had anything said to us about sex in any way. Well except the year they caught a couple of girls in the canoes with the boy scouts from across the lake. But about all that was said was they were having sex

I went down too of course,as every gentleman should.

salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2518/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=10511For almost 100 years, the Roman Catholic Church has had a strong relationship with the Girl Scouts. Scores of local Girl Scout troops are hosted by Catholic parishes, and about 25% of Girl Scouts are Catholic. But now, in response to completely bogus charges by right-wing extremists, conservative Roman Catholic bishops have opened an official inquiry into the Girl Scouts of the USA -- despite the fact that the Girl Scouts do not take any positions on sexuality, birth control, or abortion. We can't let what happened to Catholic religious sisters happen again to the Girl Scouts. The millions of girls and families who participate in the Girl Scouts don't deserve to become victims of right-wing culture wars. Sign our petition and tell the Bishops: Leave the Girl Scouts alone! I'd be more concerned on the Catholic Church's position on Boy Scouts!

I went all the way at Girl Scout camp in NC even though that summer I was still a Jr. I just didn't have the time for it by my Sr. year. I was too busy pimping the younger girls. I tried to get my daughter involved here but after taking her to a few meetings it was painfully obvious she was not happy with the prospect of ending up a tart like her mother. Scouting isn't the same these days. We never once had anything said to us about sex in any way. Well except the year they caught a couple of girls in the canoes with the boy scouts from across the lake. But about all that was said was they were having sex with ducks. What ?

Tired of simply killing people apparently, the US Navy has taken to mass extermination of whales and Dolphins - for your chance to tell them to get to fuck - please sign here: According to U.S. Navy estimates, the use of high frequency underwater sound for testing in Hawaii, the California and Atlantic Coasts, and the Gulf of Mexico will deafen more than 15,900 whales and dolphins and kill 1,800 more over the next 5 years. Whales and dolphins depend on sound to navigate and live. Your signature and comment could stop this Naval program, potentially saving the lives of these ocean creatures. That's why I signed a petition to U.S. Navy, which says: "Stop the killing of 1,800 whales and dolphins and the deafening of 15,900 more by ceasing the operation of the Navy's underwater sound system in the Hawaiian Islands, the California and Atlantic Coasts, and the Gulf of Mexico." Will you sign this petition? Click here: signon.org/sign/navy-under-water-sound?source=s.em.cp&r_by=5069173Please pass it on as well. Thanks!

Thank you Storm. I signed. I'm a member of Care2 and I get these in my email. I have signed some and heard the positive results from them. I'm astonished that something so simple can get results. When I first saw these kinds of petitions I thought, Oh, well, okay...but didn't realize how effective they could be.
