Girl Scouts

When we as a society send girls out to sell cookies to the masses we give them a message. I doubt most think about this fact, yet it still is a fact. Girl Scouts sell cookies for the good of their troops or the girls scout organization or whatever, it doesn't really matter what it is for, it just matters that they do. In a sense they are providing for their troop, which later in life translates to providing for their families or those they love. Apparently girls are thought of as the care takers and if a girl cannot provide for her "troop" how is she suppose to provide and take of her family when she is grown? A girl scout has no say in whether or not they sell their thin mints and tang-alongs just like most woman don't have a choice in providing for their families, it is something they have to do whether they want to or not. This is what society is telling young girl scouts unbeknowst to them.
