Twisted Girl Scouts Refuse $100,000 Gift Because Donor Wouldn’t Allow it to be Used for Cross-Dressing Boys [+video]

By Katia Hetter. It’s not every day the Girl Scouts or any non-profit is handed a $100,000 pledge.

The Girl Scouts of Western Washington recently received the donation to help fund activities for girls participating in Girl Scouts . . .

As transgender stories took over the airwaves in May, the Girl Scouts national organization clarified its long-existing policy allowing transgender girls to be Girl Scouts.

That may have inspired the donor to sending a note adding one condition: “Please guarantee that our gift will not be used to support transgender girls,” the note read, according to Seattle Metropolitan magazine’s Monday story. “If you can’t, please return the money.”

Girl Scouts of Western Washington council head Megan Ferland said she felt “very sad” after receiving that letter. But shortly thereafter, she says she decided to return the money. (Read more from “Girl Scouts Refuse $100,000 Gift With Transgender Limits” HERE)

After Supporting Inclusion of of Transgender Girls, Girl Scouts Crowdfunding Campaing Exceeds $250K

By Sarah Lawson. Girl Scouts has just come out in support of transgender girls with an inspiring new crowdfunding campaign.

The Girl Scouts of Western Washington accepted a $100,000 donation, but later learned it came with a stipulation: the money could not be used to support transgender girls. The Girl Scouts gave the money back. To show its support for all girls and to make up the difference—the organization reports that $100,000 is nearly one-third of its yearly financial assistance program—Girl Scouts of Western Washington launched an IndieGogo campaign Monday to raise back the money lost in the deal.

By Tuesday, the #ForEVERYGirl campaign had raised two-and-a-half-times its goal with $250,000 and counting from 5,000 donors (and nearly a month left to go on the IndieGogo clock). In an update to the campaign on Tuesday night, Girl Scouts said it could now help at least 1,000 girls with the money. On Wednesday, the organization was receiving enthusiastic messages of support from all over the U.S. as well as the UK, Australia and Canada. (Read more from this story HERE)
