It somewhat implies that change is negative, and a new CMO is too? I'm not sure why it was even mentioned. Miss Richie discusses building strong confident young ladies and about gender equality, sure that's the heart of feminism, but in no way does it automatically mean that tradition will be thrown out the wayside. In fact she is very careful to say that the core of Girl Scouts remains the same. If anything being a girl scout offers opportunities to explore traditional gender roles as well as non-traditional. It is providing a well rounded picture of what kind of woman one can become. Allowing the girls to choose a path for themselves. How amazing is that? Very. I love the Girl Scouts and I certainly hope they continue to provide a wholesome outlet for our future generations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
