I'm new here (the blog, but not the A/A site) but have long followed the sordid dealings of the BSA.<br /> <br /> This always makes me want to buy and eat more girl scout cookies too. I've been trying to post around and see if anyone knows why there's not more furor from the religious right over the tolerance of the Girl Scounts. <br /> <br /> ST ITA with Jonboy.
