Sad day for Girl Scouts in Virginia. Ms. Carne was also executive director of the Center for Personal and Career Development at Randolph-Macon College (which college has removed her name and affiliation from its website).

>> Sad day

Unfortunately, the sadness began long ago with the abortion agenda.

Sounds like a strong contender for a post in the Hillary administration. Assuming she gets a POTUS pardon....

She could still become a judge in Kali-Porn-ia...

They only want to ban former boy scouts from being judges there, the girl scouts have been very liberal for a long long time...

All that matters is that she believes in abortion and gay marriage. What's a little embezzlement between friends?

Sad day? I’m exceedingly gleeful when these leftist orgs and the drones that run them go down.

Exactly.

The Scouts have long since lost sight of the original ideals — to teach young girls and boys morality and leadership and integrity.

A little refresher....

The Scout Oath.

On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

Scout Law.

A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.

The organization has changed into a massive behemoth and is now a money making machine which makes executives rich at the expense of the kids and where children are exposed to molestation and are under constant pressure to abandon the original laws in favor of the politically correct.

For 22k an otherwise smart lady risks JAIL, a good job, and is willing to betray thousands of little girls. This isn’t just dumb, there is something psychologically wrong with this woman.

That said, this is any one of us without God in our lives.

The trade-off does hardly seem worth it. What would possess someone to do this? (maybe ‘possess’ is the word?)

Up to 20 years means roughly $1K/year for the embezzlement. Even if she gets a lesser sentence (not likely given the victims), her reputation is shattered. She’ll never see a decent job again, nor should she.

One time occurrence? Or one infraction caught?

She was using her GSA/VA credit card for her and her family’s benefit while serving as its CEO (only about a year). They spent more on forensic scientists to track her abuse of the card (>$50K) than she’d embezzled (>$22K).

I just can’t understand why she’d jeopardize everything good in her life (family/job/reputation/freedom) in such a petty way. (If I were gonna embezzle, at least I would hope to make it worthwhile!)

She will get 20 years for embezzlement. Al Gore, Reid, The Kennedy’s... Nothing.

They should check her pantries too. Probably full of illicit boxes of Thin Mints and Samoas.

When you think of it in cookie terms:, GS cookies at $4/box (with all the kids’ time expended, usually in the cold) into $22,979 is 5745 boxes. Probably what’s sold by one minor council in a season.
