The Girl Scouts of the USA is considering raising their membership fee by 240 percent due to declining membership. This is not happening by accident.
In recent years, the organization has gone quite woke. In 2020, they congratulated Amy Coney Barrett for her U.S. Supreme Court appointment in a tweet but then deleted it when leftists complained. In 2021, it was revealed that they have an ‘anti-racism’ guide.
Adding to their problems, the Boy Scouts of America also went woke and now accepts girls. Why are the Girl Scouts even needed anymore?
The FOX Business Network reports:
Girl Scouts may raise yearly dues by 240% amid declining membershipThe Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) may raise yearly membership fees by 240%, from $25 to $85.”We have collectively acknowledged that a membership dues increase is needed which is greater than the 25 percent (or $6.25) the National Board has authority to approve in a single triennium,” Girl Scouts of the USA President Noorain Khan and CEO Bonnie Barczykowski wrote in a handbook for delegates who will vote on the potential increase this weekend.The vote comes as membership in the Girl Scouts has declined in recent years, due in part to the pandemic and other factors. The Boy Scouts of America, now called Scouting America, allowed girls to join its ranks in 2018.The organization ended the 2023 fiscal year with a $4.4 million deficit, according to the handbook, and it is expected to increase to $5.6 million at the end of the 2024 fiscal year.”Over the past few years, costs have increased everywhere, and neither GSUSA nor our councils have been immune to this pressure,” the handbook said, adding that the National Board has been using its financial reserves to cover costs.
Here’s a video report from WKBT News:
One of the problems with raising their membership fee by so much is that it is going to price out some potential new members.
Perhaps a change in ideology is in order.
