KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A local woman is calling on all Catholic churches to sever ties with the Girl Scouts.

KMBC's Emily Aylward reported the issue is over two Girl Scout troop visits from Planned Parenthood.

"I would like to see every Catholic troop in the nation pull out of the Girl Scouts," said Angie Winston (pictured, left), who heads up the pro-life committee at St. Andrew the Apostle.

Winston, a mother of six, claims the girls earned badges by listening to a Planned Parenthood speaker.

"We do not have any programs that deal with abortion or birth control," said Midny McDermott, of the Girl Scouts.

McDermott downplayed the controversy, suggesting that the two troops contacted Planned Parenthood on their own last year. The seminar dealt with dating, Aylward reported.

McDermott insists that every guardian was informed.

"Any program that we do, we get parent permission slips. Parents do have a right to know and an obligation to decide if this activity is good for their daughter," McDermott.

McDermott added that handling sensitive subjects is spelled out in the Girl Scouts' handbook.

"You just don't put your kids in an organization without checking it out and fully, 100 percent believing in everything that that organization supports," Winston said.

Aylward reported that as things stand, the Girl Scouts still meet within the St. Andrews community, but the head pastor does not foresee that happening much longer.
