Girl Scouts return $100,000 donation that ‘can’t be used to support transgender girls’

The Girl Scouts of Western Washington returned a huge donation after being told it could not be used to support transgender children.

The gift of $100,000 (£63,630) would have been quarter of their annual fundraising goal and, naturally, a cause for celebration in the offices of the organization.

But then they received a note from the donor, who they have not named, which said: “Please guarantee that our gift will not be used to support transgender girls. If you can’t, please return the money.”

Girl Scouts groups across the United States have come under fire for welcoming and supporting young transgender girls, but most have defiantly continued to do so.
