I have a general feeling that they’re bad (the org, not the individual children lmao) but am fuzzy on the details of why. It’s generally agreed among leftists that it’s child labor right? And that they love teaching little kids that capitalism = cool and good. I’ve got a niece in girl scouts and I’d just like some more concrete examples and reasons not to support them so that my family understands that I’m not just being cheap… although yeah ok I admit it the shrinkflation over the years is one of the reasons I don’t give them money, fine.
Or uuuuuh if you think they’re good actually then explain for the class pls. Make me feel bad about buying knockoff treats for a third of the price and then not donating the difference. 🍪 🍪
Girl Scouts is an MLM scheme built on child labor.
Marxism-Leninism-Maoism is built on child labor, you heard it here first!
I get the child labor part but can you give details or post something that explains how it’s set up like an MLM?
Most of the fundraising money raised by the boy/girl scouts is used to pay “dues” and buy uniforms from “approved vendors” instead of funding your kids next group camping trip.
Probably selling cookies and other shit like that. Boy Scouts of America does some similar stuff too but probably less of it- they make the kids sell this very overpriced cookies/popcorn/candy to get back pennies to fund their troops
