In
December of 2013, Girl Scouts of the USA shared an auto-populated tweet, asking
our social media audience to share their opinions about who should have been
recognized in a discussion about 2013’s noteworthy women. While our intentions
were good, many of our followers and the public at large raised concerns about
the content they were driven to via our social channels. We listened, and would
like to take a moment to sincerely apologize to anyone we have offended. We are
truly sorry.
To
be clear, Girl Scouts has not endorsed any person or organization. As our
methods of communication evolve with technology, the mission of Girl Scouts
remains the same: to continue building girls of courage, confidence, and
character, who make the world a better place.
