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.

This thread unlocked another core memory of nobody knowing or understanding I was neurodivergent. I had to quit girl scouts because I couldn’t stop having such bad anxiety to the point of crying meltdowns just from “normal” things like camping and trying to make fires. Huh…
Was also quite a humiliating experience because I could tell the adults and the other girls just thought I was being a whimp, dramatic, a brat, etc. I’d be terrified of random things like bugs or hot things or sleeping in a tent and they’d just be like really? :| why are you like this
Which made me feel like a piece of shit because I couldn’t control it of course
