Why we expect the Girl Scouts to be progressive

Pacific Standard cited an essay by Barbara Arneil, a UBC political scientist, for a story about how the history of the Girl Scouts has influenced their behaviour, including the decision for 75 scouts to march in Donald Trump’s inaugural parade.

In the 2010 essay, Arneil wrote that the Girl Scouts had a hint of rebellion that was forced upon them by Boy Scout leadership’s objections to the notion of girls scouting at all.
