POLITICAL ENDORSEMENTS From GSUSA... As a not-for-profit organization, Girl Scouts may take action only on legislation that directly affects the rights, responsibilities, and purposes of Girl Scouts of the USA. In their capacities as Girl Scouts, individual members may not take action on legislation or participate in any political activity that supports or opposes a candidate for public office. Also prohibited are such activities as conducting a flag ceremony at a political rally or appearing in such a manner as to be clearly identified as a Girl Scout in an advertisement for a political candidate or issue. However activities that are designed specifically to be informative and do not advocate a position or candidate are permitted. We encourage Girl Scouts to actively promote participating in the democratic process, but not to advocate for a position or a candidate. [Additional note: For instance, members representing themselves as Girl Scouts can not participate in a flag ceremony, hand out flyers, or serve in any direct or indirect capacity for a political candidate or party.]
