From Bill Taylor's Game Changer Blog at HarvardBusiness.org.

In the last few years, the Girl Scouts have turned their image, focus, and strategy around. Here are three ways they made it happen.

  • Girl Scouts is girl power - personified. Keep it up!

  • Read some of Bill Taylor's artilces, cool to see him on video...

  • The Girl Scouts "Blue Book of Basic Documents" says absolutely nothing about lesbians nor homosexuals, nor does Girl Scouts consider them a "protected class" nor even mention "sexual orientation" in any of their publications/materials. They only recognize "protected classes" such as race, national origin, religion, sex, age, and disabilities. It is a myth that Girl Scouts promotes homosexuality - perpetuated by people who dislike Girl Scouting for some reason they aren't willing to disclose.

  • there is no link between planned parenthood and girl scouts.

  • I'm not sure where you got this idea, but there is NO link between Girl Scouts and Planned Parenthood. There NEVER has been.  And we DO NOT provide funding to them in any form.

  • Holy Cow ... I'll never buy or eat another girl scout cookie again. Thanks for posting this comment. Spread the word.

  • By the way, selling cookies funds Planned Parenthood which main activity is ABORTION. Everyone knows it and Cathy admitted this on National TV. I doubt that Julie Gorden Lowe would support this agenda either. Cathy is not a role model for our girls and if you ask most leaders, they cringe at this idea, but there is no other choice, until 13 years ago. Search American Heritage Girls.

  • What are you smoking? Membership is not growing fast due to all the restructuring. What is really going on, girls love to camp with their mothers. You don't have a clue what you are talking about. Change means that if you aren't a lesbian you are not welcome which I found out first hand with my daughter. Cathy is in her own world and if Juliet, a God fearing woman were alive she would be disgusted. Give us all a break!

  • Too bad Mr. Taylor did not actually research this topic before blogging. He might have found out this has not been the success he describes but has actually resulted in decifit budgets, a severe drop in morale, reduced membership and a questionable future.
