Girl Scouts has enjoyed the cover and friendship of the Catholic Church for decades. We pray that the Church can help us to increase awareness about many of the issues on this website. Please consider sharing your concerns about Girl Scouts with:
Your Parish:
- Priest
- Right to Life Ministry Coordinator
- Youth Minister
- Knights of Columbus
- Girl Scout Ministry Coordinator
Your Diocese:
- Bishop
- Right to Life Director
- Office of Youth Ministry Director
- Girl Scout Chaplain
Also, join us in prayer on Fridays at 5pm CST / 6pm EST for a Rosary by conference call to pray for the GSUSA issues, the protection of our youth and the guidance of the NFCYM. Call in number: 712.432.3066 / Conference code: 907281
In addition, please consinder contacting the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM). The NFCYM investigated some of the Girl Scout issues and released a statement in January 2011. However, this statement does not address the GSUSA printed materials which contradict, and even mock, the teachings of our Church. The NFCYM staff and contact info can be found here:

To learn more about the NFCYM's response, or lack of response, to GSUSA issues visit:

Don't be discouraged by a negative or dismissive response. Many people (even some Catholic leaders) don't want to believe the truth about what Girl Scouts has become. We do our part by sharing the facts and leave the rest up to God.
