I learned in 1998 that the Girl Scout organization does not discriminate against troop leaders who are gay. They are only interested in whether the woman is a competent leader for young girls, enjoys working with them, and also works well with their parents. They aren't worried about whether girls are being "groomed" to become lesbians. When I spoke to the state leader at that time, the woman thought it was preposterous to think that would be possible, and she was not gay. I encourage you to check out the Girl Scout website to see what they are up to these days. They are doing amazing things, far more than when I was a girl scout 60 years ago, we didn't do the things girls are doing today. They climb mountains, dive into oceans, learn robotics, welcome refuges, impact communities with advocacy on many issues, and more. I really appreciate the list of transgender girls to buy cookies from. I will buy from one of the girls.
Placed an order for 6 boxes, always willing to help. My mom was a girl scout leader, my dad a boy scout leader, and I was a boy scout leader as my sons went thru eagle scout. I dropped out of scouting because I wasn't allowed to join the girl scouts or tagalong once I was out of elementary school.
thank you so so so much for helping me sell cookies! i love how you're supporting trans girls and non-binary kids! i was afraid i wasn't going to reach my goal of 600 cookies, but thanks to you, i got over 100 sales in 2 days! now i can go to camp and do horseback riding! i want to be just like you when i grow up. sincerely-Penny Piehl, age 9, they/them. (I echo Penny's statements - thanks for all you are doing, Erin! I want to be just like you, too <3 Tiffani, Penny's mom)
As the mama of the above mentioned trans girl Ari I am so grateful for your support Erin, and for those of you who have bought cookies. The delight I see in Ari's eyes every time we receive new orders could make me cry!
Thank you so much for putting this list together and supporting our trans/NB kiddos! I don’t know if you’re still accepting links, but my kiddo El is non-binary/transmasc in a super supportive and very queer troop. They’re raising money as they want to take a trip to NYC, and they always also donate to charity. https://www.gsdigitalcookie.com/cookie/landing/0/9EDB39E2-2CAC-4660-9193-D9B7FB740D46
This was shared with me and it is an example of when social media works and for good. And I never comment unless it is for good. I am so happy to support one of these great kids for our cookies this year. Imagine I get to support a kid in WA all the way from Maine. I hope that gives them hope to see how far they have reached. Most excellent.
As a young adult trans person, former Girl Scout of 7 years, and forever Thin Mint fan, thanks for this post! I ordered some boxes from G in San Diego. :)
I would love to buy cookies from a transgender/non binary scout. I figure shipping figures into either their cost or mine. Do you know of any in Florida? P.S. I was a Girl Scout leader and my adult child who was a Girl Scout is now transgender. Keep up your important work!

I’ve been sharing this with all my friends today. Let’s go!!

This is so special!
Thanks for creating this opportunity. I ordered from one of the Scouts listed who I've known since birth (I am their Aunt Dude :)
I'd love to hear a follow-up in a few weeks about how much of an impact this had on sales.
I love this! Could you please add my scout? Atlas is a 7th grade gender fluid Girl Scout and he uses all pronouns. She is raising money for her trip to DC this summer! https://www.gsdigitalcookie.com/cookie/Landing/3/364c56dd-2b86-4b0a-bfb8-46d839a953b5/en-US

What a wonderful totally awesome idea. I was on a diet... but here come the Thin Mints!!

As a queer troop leader, thank you for putting this together. I hope all the troops participate in the Pride Month badge activities this year!
