We accept all girls in kindergarten through 12th grade as members. If a child identifies as a girl and the child’s family presents her as a girl, Girl Scouts of Colorado welcomes her as a Girl Scout. If a child is living as a girl, that’s good enough for us. We don’t require any proof of gender.

I really need the day to come when the BSA gets out of the dark ages, because I want to be a Scoutmaster some day of a troop, where I’ll hopefully have my own son as a member, without them thinking I’ll be a pedophile and running me out of town on a rail. I’m proud of the Girl Scouts for being more progressive.
