Girl Scouts USA has said biological males wanting to join Girl Scouts is 'rare'
Girl Scouts USA (GSUSA) has distanced itself from an online form circulating on social media that reportedly asks parents to specify if their child goes by masculine pronouns and would prefer "gender inclusive" sleeping arrangements.The form, which was reportedly sent by a parent to the widely-followed Twitter account End Wokeness, asked parents to provide "basic camper information" regarding preferred pronouns that included "she/her," "they/them," "he/him" and "other."
The reported form also asked families to provide the preferred sleeping arrangements for their camper, which included "gender inclusive" accommodations or those only for "cisgender females."
"We’re proud that Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) is an inclusive organization that uplifts all girls," the Girl Scouts USA told Fox News Digital when reached for comment about the form. "We are committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment where all members are empowered to be themselves as they discover their strengths, rise to meet new challenges, and become leaders in their communities and the world."
Accommodations for transgender youth are made with the local Girl Scout council to best support each troop and member," the organization added.
An employee with Girl Scouts USA echoed the statement from the organization, telling Fox News Digital that the form was not from the organization's official website, and that such issues are left up to local Girl Scout councils how best to handle.
Regarding whether the issues addressed in the form posted by End Wokeness are going on in the organization at any level, the employee said, "It seems like there's a conversation happening among many organizations around the country, […] and it's just an issue that is left to councils to decide the best path forward."
The Girl Scouts have been allowing transgender girls into the organization for years, and the FAQ section of its website — which has been online for more than a decade — notes that situations where a biological male would request to join are "rare and are considered individually with the best interests of all families in mind."
