The Presidential Inaugural Committee announced the lineup for Friday's inaugural parade. Many organizations you'd expect to be marching will be: military organizations, college and high school marching bands, and the Boy Scouts of America. One surprise participant? The Girl Scouts of America.

After being turned away while selling Girl Scout Cookies when a neighbor terrible, terrible person literally said, "Nobody wants to to buy cookies from a boy in a dress," Girl Scout Stormi did what most of us would do in that situation: she got a little sad.

There's a lot Girl Scouts could do in terms of improving their programming, but I suspect that part of their image problem comes not from things that the Girl Scouts are doing 'wrong,' but from the fact that they're an organization for girls, and therefore implicitly inferior and uncool.

Girl Scout Cookies are taking a price hike, but to be honest, it's not too bad.

This year's Fair placed a particular emphasis on women in STEM, so it's gratifying to imagine what an inspiring experience attending must have been for members of the Troop, and exciting that Obama (who showed his support of girls in science at a Marine Corps event earlier this month) agreed to pose for the picture--especially since he's refused similar requests in the past.
