LGBTQIA+ Captured Girl Scouts: How To Stop This Cycle

Malcolm and Simone examine how the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts shifted from their founding principles into vehicles for progressive cultural messaging. They review membership declines, policy changes around identity and pride programs, and the strategic missteps that allowed institutional capture.

The discussion covers the original intent behind scouting, past conservative battles over inclusion and pledges, and why reframing certain issues as unique arousal patterns rather than innate identities could have changed outcomes. They also explore lessons for building resilient future organizations and avoiding optically weak fights.

Episode Transcript

Malcolm Collins:Hello, Simone. I’m excited to be here with you today. Today, we are going to be talking about how Girl Scouts has become something of a pipeline into the urban monoculture. We’ll be reviewing articles on it, and I want to study how it became this as well as scouts, which has become increasingly, though it resisted for longer, more and more a pipeline into the urban monoculture. And we can see where it attempted to resist, and I think it pulled really stupid cultural battles, which is what caused it to lose the game. And this is something that we need to think about and use strategically as our people, the the Americans, move forwards in conquering the world. So if we go back to the founding of the scouts, here are some quotes from the guy who founded it to understand what his intention for the scouts was. Okay?

Simone Collins:Let’s go. Yeah. Let’s go.

Malcolm Collins:Play up each man in his place and play the game. Your forefathers worked hard, fought hard, and died hard to make this empire for you. Don’t let them look down from heaven and see you loafing about with your hands in your pocket doing nothing to keep it up. That’s what I want on my scouts wall. I I... I’ve thought it would be fun to, with the index one day, recreate, like, a base scout, like, the the imperial scouts for the the future empire of man to one day unite all nations under the iron hand of the imperium. Alright. And then here’s another way of him. The surest way to keep peace is to prepare for war. Don’t be cowards and content yourself By merely paying soldiers to do your fighting and dying for you, do something in your own self defense. Alright. Now if we look at what has happened to the scouts, it hit peak membership in the nineteen seventies at four to 5,000,000. It’s late to Wow. Only 2,000,000 by the two thousand tens. And today, it’s dropped, especially after the pandemic, to only around 1,000,000. I do not think it is a rescuable institution. Well, I

Simone Collins:don’t know. When things get really small, can’t they be really good? Like

Malcolm Collins:Well, yeah. You can take it over more easily. But Yeah. We’ll go over how these institutions were lost because I think studying them in a microcosm can be a very, very good way to harden future institutions and to think about how you make recapture work.

Simone Collins:Okay.

Malcolm Collins:I’m I’m reading here, from an article from the Daily Wire about the Girl Scouts. But that all changed in 1993 when she discovered the organization was removing its reference to god in the Girl Scouts promise. As a Christian, Gabba Ray was upset about this, but as a volunteer, she was also alarmed. Where had the decision come from, she wondered, and why was no one informed? Today, Girl Scouts USA publishes an official LGBTQ plus pride month patch program available for Daisy scouts, kindergartners to first graders on up. Even you look alarmed by this. Fun patches are optional and are at the discretion of troop leaders to present. Girls can earn a rainbow patch by completing activities, including making rainbow flags to celebrate LGBTQ plus pride month, watching documentaries on LGBTQ history, such as the Stonewall Uprising, which is, by the way, a fictitious rewriting of history. the real Stonewall uprising was a mafia bar that the police needed to raid because it was a mafia bar. A bunch of gay white men and a few cross dressers, not trans people, fought against them. Later, some people who later identified as trans arrived well after everything had started and gotten underway, and then they attempt to claim that it was like trans women of color who threw the first whatever at the police raiding a mafia bar really something Oh, no.

Simone Collins:I didn’t know about I didn’t know about it being a mafia bar before that. That’s that’s insane.

Malcolm Collins:Another episode on it likely. Like, just how comical it is that anyone would treat it as a big thing of pride or... Like, the gays do this with everything. Why don’t they always pick the worst people like Harvey Milk who... Disgusting human being. he, for a long time, dated a child, I think 14, 15.

Simone Collins:Oh, you mean young young. Okay.

Malcolm Collins:Yeah. And then the kid, he dumped him when he got older because Harvey Milk only really liked children. He he dated a number of young people in a row. And when they aged, he would dump them, and the guy ended up unaliving himself because of this. And when somebody told him, you know, the... This person is thinking about unaliving themselves given the way that you’ve been treating him and just goes in from your life. And he’s like, well, tell him to not make a mess. Like, truly, a a vile human, and they named one of our warships after this guy.

Simone Collins:They have a Well, and the whole really nice new SFO terminal as well.

Malcolm Collins:No. Harvey Milk is a monstrous person. The Stonewall Rye uprising was not an uprising. It was a crackdown on a mafia bar. Like, gays need to get some good heroes, or if they don’t have good heroes, they should be be asking themselves why. Why does this correlation exist with not caring about this guy graping a child and becoming a major figure within our movement. It’s it’s tough. It’s tough. I’m gonna be honest. But here, memorizing poetry of LGBT poets, reading children’s books such as I am jazz and love makes a family, and visiting National Women’s History Museum’s website to study LGBTQ historical figures and participating in the gay, lesbian, and straight education network, GLSEN, no name calling week. The patch guide calls it an effort to, quote, disrupt anti LGBTQ plus harassment and biased bullying. and, no, this is for badges. Like, you get bad... The the girls are, like, given tasks lists to do this stuff, to watch this stuff that is rewriting history of Wow. So, yeah, they’re they’re literally... You get a little... You get a

Simone Collins:patch, which is pretty... And girls love rainbows. I love rainbows. Everyone loves rainbows. I mean, when you’re a kid, rainbows are awesome. So you want the rainbow patch, then the only way to get it is to... By watch... By watching a bunch of propaganda. That’s unsettling. Okay?

Malcolm Collins:Not going out and helping anyone. Not doing anything good. Just watching propaganda.

Simone Collins:Yeah. Why not, like, some kind of adopt a gay program where you, I don’t know, bring them socks or something? Some oat milk. I... What what do... Whatever. You know? Like, just be nice to be... Even, like, just to be nice to the the gays would be great for a week. But this whole no no name calling. What are they even, like, at that age? Anyway... Yeah. I don’t think they’re walking around using anti gay slurs

Malcolm Collins:when they’re that age. I was. Yeah. But you forget what the, nineties were like and the eighties

Simone Collins:were like. They were a different time.
