Did you know the Girl Scouts turned away a $100,000 donation because the money came with a stipulation that the organization wouldn’t be allowed to help anyone who is transgender? Better yet, they collected $250,000 from people who were overjoyed by their integrity! Here I interview a couple of scouts working hard for their community…

Growing up, were you a member of any youth groups? How many homes did you reside in and how many schools did you attend? Remember, the best way to combat gaslighting is to speak your truth.
