A Girl Scout troop leader in Missouri was threatened with legal action by the organization after her troop tried to sell bracelets to raise money for Gaza, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Nawal Abuhamdeh said that it had been the children’s idea to sell bracelets to raise money for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. She said that the members of her troop, including her own 10 year-old daughter, had been deeply emotionally impacted by Israel’s brutal military campaign in Gaza, which has killed more than 29,000 people, and at least 10,000 children. “I’m grieving. We are all grieving. We literally couldn’t muster the energy to sell cookies,” Abuhamdeh said. Soon after making a post about the fundraiser, Abuhamdeh said she received an email from the Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri organization, alerting her that her troop could not support “partisan politics,” and needed to “stay neutral.” The email said that the fundraiser had violated the organization’s governing documents, and that if the troop went forward with their plan, the organization would engage legal counsel to “protect the intellectual property and other rights of the organization.”

It’s Girl Scout Day! March 12, 2024, is the 112th birthday of Girl Scouts in the United States, and to celebrate, we’re sharing a lithograph of the Girl Scout alumnae who became NASA astronauts.

Girl Scouts learn to work together, build community, embrace adventurousness and curiosity, and develop leadership skills—all of which come in handy as an astronaut. For example, former Scouts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir worked together to make history on Oct. 18, 2019, when they performed the first all-woman spacewalk.

Pam Melroy is one of only two women to command a space shuttle and became NASA’s deputy administrator on June 21, 2021.

Nicole Mann was the first Indigenous woman from NASA to go to space when she launched to the International Space Station on Oct. 5, 2022. Currently, Loral O’Hara is aboard the space station, conducting science experiments and research.

Participating in thoughtful activities in leadership and STEM in Girl Scouts has empowered and inspired generations of girls to explore space, and we can’t wait to meet the future generations who will venture to the Moon and beyond.

Make sure to follow us on Tumblr for your regular dose of space!

One summer when I was at my favorite Girl Scout camp a mom sent her daughter a pack of tarot cards in the mail. The counselors decided we could only play with them if our parents let us read Harry Potter, otherwise you had to do something else.

And. Like. I get where they were coming from but it was fucking Girl Scouts. We had a whole ritual system built around pinecones by day two of camp. We nearly died in a flood, like, at LEAST once a summer. We had a sprawling lore about a doomed civil war soldier and the ghost of his lover that he had to leave behind and now she haunted the camp. We regularly tried to summon OTHER ghosts at the homestead house. WE COMPETED FOR TENT SPACE WITH COYOTES.

I do not think they needed to worry about the tarot cards.

Anyways. That's the camp that inspired the camp in my book Camp Daze, which is on Kickstarter right now.

This is an ✨️opt in✨️ list. Every trans Girl Scout on this list has affirmatively chosen to be listed.

As she does every year, Erin Reed is gathering the names of trans Girl Scouts to buy cookies from! I reiterate that every participant on this list is doing so with their full consent and the consent of their parents.

Please support these trans Scouts!

PSA from a former girl scout who sold cookies well into middle school: this girl scout cookie season, PLEASE consider buying at least some of your cookies from older scouts instead of concentrating all your attention on the adorable little brownies selling in front of walmart I beg of you. it is incredibly demoralizing to be trying to raise money for like, silver/gold award projects, international trips etc and get fucking nowhere just because you're no longer cute. this isn't to say "don't ever buy from younger scouts" just that. you know. everyone does, so maybe switch it up a little.

if you're also trying to support trans scouts this year, the 2024 trans girl scout cookie seller list is a good place to find older kids/teens who are selling.

Girldad Rosekiller vs. Girldad Wolfstar: Selling Girl Scout Cookies

(Yes I'm aware the Girl Scouts are an American thing. Indulge me.)

Rosekiller:

They aren't so much "selling" the cookies, as they are threatening people to buy them in support of their daughter "Or else".

Some Dude: "Nah, sorry man, but I gotta sell my own kid's cookies." Barty, pulling a knife out of fucking nowhere: "You'll buy the damn cookies or the only thing you'll be selling is your own severed hands."

Short, Sweet, and highly effective.

Wolfstar:

They have a whole plan. They used to just go to James first because this man will just buy every single one of those fucking cookies with no buyer's remorse, but Regulus has a firm ban on allowing any more than 3 boxes in the house at any given moment because they just had palets of the damned things sitting in their cupboard and now he gets physically ill at the very thought of anything other than thin mints.

So instead, Remus has a sale plan that he and Sirius created. It lays out the best locations, and with their encouragement, their daughter is very easily one of the best salespeople in the business.

Sounds normal right?

Wrong.

Because even a well-thought-out plan can be somewhat derailed based on Sirius's influence alone.

Let me set the scene:

[[On a sale day, Sirius and their daughter are sitting at the breakfast table before Remus wakes up. Sirius drinks some bougie iced espresso drink he made, and she has a plate of smiley-face pancakes out in front of her.]] Sirius: "So what do you say when someone starts to walk close to the table?" Their daughter, smiling up at him: "Hello, would you like to buy some cookies?" Sirius, nodding: "Good. Now, what do you say when they say no?" Their daughter: "Please sir, my mum just died of cancer." Sirius, grinning proudly: "That's my girl." Remus, having just walked into the kitchen, his hair a mess, and his jumper hiked up due to the hand scratching an itch on his stomach: "Please tell me that you did not teach our daughter to use Cancer as a sales tactic..." Sirius: "Of course I did! It's brilliant!" *She raises her hand from her seat* Remus, with a soft sigh: "Yes, Angel?" Her: "But I have two dads. I never knew my mom." Sirius: "Ah, but that's the trick, Darling." *He pokes her nose.* "Sales is all about the blatant exploitation of other people's emotions in order to make a profit." *looking to Remus* "Tell me I'm wrong." *Remus breathes out a resigned laugh and shakes his head incredulously* Remus: "It's the fact that I genuinely can't that upsets me the most..."

I was in the woods being hunted by vampire girl scouts. I tried to seek shelter with some local villagers, but they kicked me out because I was a child and there for could have been a vampire girl scout. The girl scouts found me and proceeded to feed me to their pet giant owl.
