Girl Scouts In 2012, Representative Wes Keller blocked a resolution honoring the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts due to internet rumors that the Girl Scouts were linked to Planned Parenthood. He stated "I'm sure you are aware of the information that's floating around the internet, and I'd like to give you the opportunity to respond to your connection, the Girl Scout connection, with Planned Parenthood and the activist role in that — is there a connection? Is there not? Frankly, I haven't looked into it but I see it's out there," Keller later softened his tone, praising the Girl Scouts but refusing to let the resolution pass.
