The post continued to add that we re in a complex and rapidly changing 21st century, and the needs of the nation s young girls are changing as well.
The policy states that Girl Scouts will accommodate transgender members during camping or travel excursions similar to how local schools address the issues of changing and sleeping arrangements.
I do know that the recent media coverage of transgender individuals, and the portrayal of transgender characters of popular TV shows, has certainly sparked a more vibrant conversation, said Pat Parcellin, CEO of the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts. It seems only natural that organizations like Girl Scouts would be asked to articulate our position.
A spokeswomen for Girl Scouts headquarters in New York declined to comment further.

Girl Scouts of the USA and its local councils and troops value diversity and inclusiveness, Parcellin said.相关的主题文章：
