I was a Girl Scout, too. And the Girl Scout Law states one should be: "friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong [obviously what the transgendered members are doing]...to respect [one]self and others, respect authority...and be sister to every Girl Scout." Planning a boycott (an unnerving noun in this situation anyway) is not respecting authority, nor others, nor is it friendly, helpful, considerate, or caring.
Yes, not disclosing the information of this inclusion by the organization was not "honest" or "fair", as the Girl Scout Law requires. However, how UNfair would it be to exclude that willing member? Furthermore, if this scout believes so strongly in the organization as a member of it, why take away a main source of profits for Girl Scout activities, charity, community service, and outreach programs?

The best part is, I was looking for an excuse to buy an outrageous amount of girl scout cookies.
