Members of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America have marched in the 43rd annual San Francisco Pride Parade with relatives and scout leaders just weeks after the Boy Scouts of America announced it would allow male scouts in 2014.

Reports say a contingent of over 90 girl scout allies of the LGBT community marched in the parade – the first time members had done so.

The girl scouts marched in their uniforms with their merit badges displayed.

Parent Del Gregor told USA Today that she wanted her daughter to be able to tell their kids that they had helped make history.

‘I want them to be able to tell their children they were a part of this,’ Gregor said.

‘By the time they’re grown up, their kids won’t believe there was a time when gay people couldn’t get married.’

The Girl Scouts of the United States of America have not excluded people from participating in scouting since October of 1991.

‘As a private organization, Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. respects the values and beliefs of each of its members and does not intrude into personal matters,’ the 1991 statement read, ‘Therefore, there are no membership policies on sexual preference.’
