A petition by a junior troop leader with the Girl Scouts of America is asking the group's chief executive to stay out of President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural parade.

In her petition, Heather C. said by taking part in the parade interim CEO Sylvia Acevedo is "failing to live up to GSUSA's values."

"Please do not make Girl Scouts of the USA party to normalizing racism, misogyny, and fascism," the petition said, making reference to past comments Trump has made about women and minorities.

"Do not march in the inaugural parade."

NJ Advance Media reached out to Heather C. for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.

Details about the swearing-in of Trump were revealed Tuesday by the Presidential Inauguration Committee, including the marching order of the parade. The Girl Scouts will be marching in the third division.

About 75 girls will march in the parade as part of a Girl Scout tradition that goes back for a century, according to scouts' website.

"All girl participation is voluntary, and the girls choose what they do and do not participate in. We are a girl-led organization," the Girl Scouts told NJ Advance Media in an email. The group did not comment on the petition.

The Girl Scouts leadership says it is a nonpartisan organization that does not take positions on political candidates or parties.

The organization also sent a message on Twitter on Wednesday about the organization's commitment to civic engagement.

"Donald Trump has repeatedly made statements that are not only antithetical to everything GSUSA purports to value, but which are directly harmful to women and girls," Heather C. said in her petition.

The petition has reached more than 125,000 signatures -- with a goal of 150,000 before it's presented to Acevedo.

"The GSA needs to do the right thing and boycott the inauguration for a president elect who denigrates women and worse," commented one supporter who signed the petition from New Jersey.

People have been commenting on the group's Facebook and Twitter pages, following news of the group's participation.

"So sad. The girls will be affected because of the organization," one person said on Facebook.
