The Girl Scouts are the good ones

You joke, but the Girl Scouts are the good ones

“Girl Scouts is proud to be the premiere leadership organization for girls in the country. Placement of transgender youth is handled on a case-by-case basis, with the welfare and best interests of the child and the members of the troop/group in question a top priority. That said, if the child is recognized by the family and school/community as a girl and lives culturally as a girl, then Girl Scouts is an organization that can serve her in a setting that is both emotionally and physically safe.”

The Boy Scouts say something similar, but I have heard far more about individual troops denying membership to trans boys and harassment to those who do join. Also, based on my own experience with abuse in the Boy Scouts I would never recommend putting a trans boy in it
