In fact, the local Girl Scout troop showed up at the "Atheists in Foxholes" event to hand out chocolate bars to our veterans. The Girl Scouts are ethical, and they DO NOT DISCRIMINATE.

It's sad, so many good things can come out of scouts, and it shouldn't be limited to only those that fit the "norm" of the bigots who run the organization at this time.
