Yeah, I've looked up the Girl Scouts pretty thoroughly and they're awesome. Several of my well-informed liberal friends and acquaintances went through the system and are now supportive leaders there.
Their curriculum (they have one!) is explicitly filling girls' heads with critical thought on how women are shown in the media, what being female means to you personally, examining religious assumptions and defining personal faith or lack thereof, emotional regulation techniques, caring for the environment, and learning about historical women who kicked ass.
