Girl Scouts won't outsource uniforms to China

The Girl Scouts won't allow their uniforms to be made in China after all.

Last month, the owners of a family-run New Jersey factory that makes the uniforms warned that the organization was seeking cheaper bids for the contract, including one from a company in China. That led to outrage among parents, scouts and others that the group was essentially outsourcing its uniform production and costing U.S. jobs.

That led the Girl Scouts of America to alter its request for proposal to require that the uniforms be manufactured in the U.S.

"GSUSA thanks the many Girl Scout parents and volunteers who stood up for their beliefs and showed the 3.4 million Girl Scouts that every voice makes a difference," the group wrote in a statement.
