It’s a sad state of affairs when even the Girls Scouts are being told to push a leftist agenda.

(CNSNews.com) – The Girl Scouts of the United States of America has launched a campaign called Forever Green that included an online pledge girls could sign, promising they would encourage public officials to pass emissions-reducing legislation.

But after CNSNews.com asked the organization about the political advocacy on Tuesday, the pledge was removed from the Girl Scouts’ Web site. The language should not have been so “inflammatory,” one official said.

One of the tenets of the pledge was to, “Inform my elected local, state, and federal officials about my views on environmental policies and urge them to support legislation that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and promotes energy efficiency and renewable technologies.”

The pledge also committed Girl Scouts, their families, and their neighbors to buy energy-efficient appliances and water-conserving plumbing fixtures.
