A major Roman Catholic organization on Thursday called for a boycott of Thin Mints, Shortbread, Peanut Butter Sandwich and other Girl Scout cookies, seeking to undercut funding for the pro-abortion agenda of the historic girls’ organization.
“The Girl Scouts was once a trusted organization dedicated to character building in young girls and women. Now, GSUSA is abusing that trust,” said Judie Brown, president of American Life League, the nation’s oldest Catholic pro-life education and advocacy group.
“Most parents and grandparents remain painfully unaware the GSUSA has introduced so-called ‘family planning’ ideology in its curriculum and promotes groups like Planned Parenthood to our daughters and granddaughters,” she said.
WND has documented the links between the Girl Scouts and Planned Parenthood, the giant in the nation’s abortion industry.
It was on NBC in 2004 when Kathy Cloning, CEO of the Girl Scouts, admitted the group “partners with Planned Parenthood across the country to bring information based sex education programs to girls.”
The STOPP program run by American Life League, which monitors Planned Parenthood, earlier surveyed 350 councils to ask if they had any involvement with the abortion provider. Eighty percent refused to answer, 17 councils said they did and 49 said they don’t.

WND also has reported that Girl Scouts is part of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, which advocates for “affordable, accessible, safe abortion.” GSUSA directly participated in a United Nations workshop in 2011 in which the Planned Parenthood sex education pamphlet “Happy, Healthy, and Hot” was distributed.
The pamphlet instructs young girls not to think of sex as “just about vaginal or anal intercourse.”
“There is no right or wrong way to have sex,” it said. “Just have fun, explore, and be yourself!”
The Catholic group ALL said it “hopes that the cookie boycott will raise awareness with parents and grandparents that Girl Scouts is no longer the organization they grew up with and once trusted.”
“There are more wholesome ways to spend the cookie money,” the group’s statement said.
ALL Executive Director Paul Rondeau told WND that while Girl Scouts officials say the cookies support local troop activities, they actually raise millions for the national organization through licensing fees and other means.
