Girl Scouts Refuse Donation with Transgender Limits, Raise $300,000 
--------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A Girl Scouts chapter in Western Washington has rejected a $100,000
donation because the donor said it couldn't be used to help transgender
girls. Using the hashtag "#For EVERYGirl," the Girl Scouts launched a
crowdfunding campaign to recoup the donation they sent back. So far
about 6,000 people have donated nearly $300,000, triple the original
amount.
