GIRL SCOUTS FIRED MOM FOR REFUSING TO ASSIST IN GROOMING OF GIRLS
A New Jersey Girl Scout troop leader who was fired by the renowned youth organization claimed she was let go for not bringing her group to LGBTQ+ events during Pride Month.
Alexandra Bougher, a 45-year-old Moms for Liberty chapter chair in Bergen County, was released by two members of Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey during a phone call on Wednesday, she said.
Bougher said the pair who fired her didn't elaborate on their reasoning and only vaguely pointed to a violation of their code of conduct. She said that her daughter was also removed from the scouts as part of her own excommunication.
She independently concluded that the entire ordeal had to do with a comment she shared in June responding to a post on the Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey's social media celebrating Pride Month
"I reposted it and I said, 'Just to be clear, my troop will not be doing this,'" Bougher told NJ Advance Media.
"I guess that's the one. They actually refused to tell me which one it was, but I'm assuming it was that one since it was pulled off their site."
Boughter was a seven-year leader with the troops and led roughly 30 girls before she was canned.
She said she was appalled by the Girl Scouts' apparent shift towards left-wing advocacy, including promoting LGBTQ+ events and Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.
"And we were like, this is not what Girl Scouts is about, and it's also dangerous - bringing young children there. We sort of saw that change and some other things too, but you know, I kept my mouth shut, I kept my troop - they're all friends with each other. They can do those events and we'll do our own thing, you know," Boughter told the outlet.
