(AgapePress) - A Girl Scouts camp in New Jersey will become a homosexual haven for two weeks in August.

While the Boy Scouts of America has taken a stand against homosexuality, it seems a New Jersey Girl Scouts group has no such reservations about that lifestyle. CNSNews reports Camp Sacajawea in New Jersey will be called "Mountain Meadow Summer Camp" as it is transformed for two weeks into a place for 9- to 17-year-old children of homosexual, transgendered, biracial, adoptive, single-parent, and other "progressive" families.

The Girl Scouts of South Jersey Pines owns the 490-acre Newfield, New Jersey, campground, but leases it to Mountain Meadow, which runs its self-described feminist camp from August 5-18. Mountain Meadow offers a sliding scale camp fee ranging from $55 to more than $3,000, based on household income.

Despite the financial arrangement, the Girl Scouts disavows any connection to the lesbian feminist group.

According to the CNSNews report, the director for the feminist summer camp is a lesbian and a founding member of Lesbian Avengers in Chicago, a militant homosexuality advocacy group. Linda Oakleaf states on her website she has been a Girl Scout for 15 years, trains Girl Scouts leaders, and is a troop leader for an outreach group in western North Carolina.
