Planned Parenthood and Girl Scout Relationships
	Does your council has a relationship with Planned Parenthood? Click on "council finder" and contact them directly.

In 2004, American Life League's STOPP International conducted a study of Girl Scout councils throughout the United States in an effort to identify which councils have a relationship with Planned Parenthood. Our study was opposed by the national office of the Girl Scouts of the USA, the leader of which publicly stated that GSUSA has no problem if its councils or troops use Planned Parenthood to impart information to the girls. After several months, we were able to get data on over half the Girl Scout Councils in the country and found that about 20% had some type of relationship with Planned Parenthood. We have now completed this project. Based on the information we uncovered in our study, we strongly advise parents to thoroughly check your local Girl Scout troop and council before allowing your girls to participate. In addition, we strongly urge you to use the same cautious approach to other youth organizations as well. We also suggest you check out the alternatives to the Girl Scouts that may be available in your area. As this project has come to an end, we will no longer be able to answer questions about specific councils. Thank you for taking the time to be interested in organizations your children or grandchildren are associated with.
