The Obama administration has teamed with the Girl Scout Council to create a new patch that you can read about here. In a nutshell, what the article says is that the US government "...wants to enlist its 3.4 million Girl Scouts in the effort to combat hurricanes, pandemics, terror attacks and other disasters. . . "This new preparedness patch will increase citizen preparedness and enhance our country's readiness for disasters," said DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano in a statement." . . . "As a former Girl Scout, I know the 'Be Prepared' motto well, and I look forward to working with the Girl Scouts to spread the preparedness....."
I hope that parents don't point to the lesbian Janet Napolitano as the type of person girls should aspire to any more than they should promote pole dancing. Beyond that though is the larger issue of the government enlisting the youth of American to "combat" natural and man-made disasters. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around; that is, that the grown-ups are supposed to protect the kids during disasters?
It's not the first time that the youth have been summoned to work for the government. According to Wikipedia, "During the [first world] war, radio transmitters were regulated, and Scouts were called to look for unauthorized units. Scouts were used as message runners, coast watchers, and were to be alert for men who had not reported for duty. Over $352 million of war bonds were sold by Scouts along with $101 million War Saving Stamps. They collected fruit pits to be processed into charcoal for gas masks and inventoried black walnut trees for use as propellers and gun stocks. The War Garden program was intended for Scouts to raise food at home, but was only moderately successful."
Jonathon Blair said it so well, "[The progressive (communist)President] Woodrow Wilson enlisted the Boy Scouts as informers, sentries, and fund raisers. He also had them involved in the process of making military supplies..."
So, now President Obama is going to use the Girl Scouts in the same way. Obama is making a point of engaging and enlisting the youth of this country into servitude to whom? Surely he isn't going to post Girl Scouts on the coastline to blow back hurricanes. Has it dawned on anyone that Obama is looking for the youth (15+ years) vote now for the next election in 3 years. According to my teenage grand-daughters, nearly all the high school kids in their schools are supporters of Obama now.
Were you paying attention at all when President Obama announced his speech to the kids? It initially included a call for the kids to pledge their allegiance to him. It also included classroom worksheets to guide the kids into making their pledge. Due to the outrage and outcry of parents around the country he had to change his message and materials.
Wake up America.

My neice is a girl scout. After the Obama's speech the other day and this, my sister has decided to pull my neice out of scouts and homeschool. My wife and I are checking in to private school for our kids to prevent indoctrination. Mark
I wasn't going to comment on this but changed my mind. I really don't see any problem with Girl Scouts earning patches for disaster preparedness. What possible wrong could be done by President Obama working with the Girl Scouts? What is your issue with all this? I think it is wonderful for the girls.
So what if the Boy Scouts were volunteering during WW I. Everyone needed to sacrifice and work toward helping President Wilson with the war.
me, my husband and my boy will never pledge to the governement or 0bama. Will help those werse off than us when we can and suport the troops too. I dont want my boy being in the boy scouts if 0bama can do stuff like this
I don't think me and my husband could afford private school and dont think Icould homeschool
I agree with your profile statement, and by the way, like you " get comfortable and stay awhile" message.. everybody is in such a hurry.for what ??

If you don't see where this is headed and the problem with it, you probably wouldn't have seen any problem with Hitler's Youth Brigade either.
Mark: I wish I had either home schooled my kids or sent them to Christian school.
Tamwow: Pray about it and see if God gives you guidance.
Happy Camper: Thanks for the kind words. Our world seems always in a hurry--no time to stop and smell the roses.
Dave: Easy there, boy.
Anonymous: I left scouting because of the liberal views they promote, including replacing parental guidance. They have fallen far away from what they were founded on by Juliette Gordon Low. The obvious objection is the subtle influences of a political party on the our kids. I do have a problem with what Wilson did to the Boy Scouts. Encouraging them to "rat out" their family members and neighbors did nothing to help win the war. It was a form of indoctrination. You'd have to open your eyes to see that though.
