Girl Scouts Summer Camp Sites For Sale

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - When it came time to draw up a budget, one of Iowa's regional Girl Scout councils reviewed its programs and made a proposal that would have been unthinkable a generation ago: selling its last four summer camps.

Troop leader Joni Kinsey was stunned. For decades, the camps had been cherished places where thousands of young girls spent summer breaks hiking, huddling around campfires and building friendships.

7:43 get your head out of your.
4:10 is "enough is enough". I think it was intended to be sarcastic? maybe?
The girl scouts are but a skeleton of what the organization used to be.
It was taken over by the Liberal P.C. crowd a long time ago pushing their liberal rainbow agenda. Decent people stopped allowing their young girls to be re-educated with the liberal philosophy. They also did not want their children socializing with streetwise/older than their years, low class girls the liberals reached out to. The idea was to raise the standards of those children and as always all it did was to lower the standards of all while exposing bad to good. When they left, so did the money. Hence, it withered on the vine.
Love me some cookies though!
