'Girl Scouting is most definitely welcoming to all girls.' A Texas mother has started a new Girl Scout troop in North Texas specifically for LGBTQ youth.
Newborg said her two daughters, who were already Girl Scouts, teamed up with other girls in the area to start an informal group dubbed the"Pride Crew," which laid the foundation for what is now Troop 02777, part of the Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains.
"There's lots of different kinds of Girl Scout troops. Some Girl Scout troops just focus on the outdoors, some just do crafts. There are Hispanic/Latina Girl Scout troops. In our area, I know we have Muslim troops ... It's one of the things that's really cool about it -- once you establish your troop, then the girls take charge of the direction," Newborg said.A new Girl Scout troop specifically for LGBTQ+ youth has kicked off in the Fort Worth, Texas area.
Tori McDonald has been a Girl Scout for 11 years, but when she heard about the idea for a"Pride Crew" and a troop specifically for LGBTQ youth, she jumped at the chance to join. Girl Scouts of the USA declined to comment to"GMA" about the new troop but the organization states onthat it"is proud to be the premiere leadership organization for girls in the country" and that"placement of transgender youth is handled on a case-by-case basis, with the welfare and best interests of the child and the members of the troop/group in question a top priority.
