“We live in Weston, Connecticut. I regret signing my daughter up for Girl Scouts. Based on their website, it seemed like a supportive community where girls encourage each other, but our experience was completely different.
At one of the meetings, my daughter ran out of the activities in tears twice. I saw other Girl Scouts saying mean things to her until she cried and left. Surprisingly, none of the adults stepped in to remind the girls to be kind and supportive. Instead, when things didn’t go the leader’s way, they would say hurtful things to upset others.
From what I’ve seen, Girl Scouts created a negative environment that didn’t teach good leadership or teamwork. My daughter and I never felt welcome from the start, so I decided to take her out of the program.”
“FADE IN:
EXT. VIRGINIA BEACH GOLF COURSE - DAY (START DAY 1)1 1
DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN drives a golf cart, ZACK ADDY rides
shotgun -
BRENNAN
We’ll be meeting with agents from the
FAA, the NTSB, and local police.
ZACK
Usually Booth handles those people.
BRENNAN
Plane crashes don’t belong to the FBI.
ZACK
Why not? FAA stands for “Federal
Aviation Administration” and the NTSB
stands for “National Transportation
Safety Board.” That sounds federal to
me. And FBI stands for “Federal--”
BRENNAN
Zack!
ZACK
This is the third time in a row we’ve
investigated without Booth. I don’t
like it.
BRENNAN
Why? He mostly ignores you.
ZACK
Ignoring me is Booth’s way of
acknowledging my presence.
(off Brennan’s look)
It’s a guy thing.
BRENNAN
Here we are.
They pull up to the scene of a small plane crash near
Virginia Beach. The intense fire has been put out by the
local F.D. and all that's left is the smoldering wreckage.
Members of the FAA, NTSB and local P.D. work the scene.

(CONTINUED)
IAN DYSON, the lead inspector from the NTSB, meets them at
the yellow perimeter tape and walks them deeper into the
crash site -
IAN DYSON
Dr. Brennan, I’m Ian Dyson with the
NTSB.
BRENNAN
This is my assistant, Zack Addy.
ZACK
And I say hello, and shake hands, and
don’t stare.
Dyson gives Zack a look but presses on -
IAN DYSON
At approximately zero-four-hundred
hours last night, a Learjet with five
people on board reported horizontal
stabilizer trouble two hundred miles
south-east of Norfolk. Yeager Airport
in Charleston tracked them for thirty
minutes until they dropped off the
radar screens at zero-four-thirty. The
plane tried to make an emergency
landing here when it clipped some trees
and slammed into the ground.”
“A local Girl Scout troop was set up at the Walmart in Dickson Tennessee. My friend and I both bought a box of cookies from them I bought thin mints, my friend bought Samoa’s. The girl taking our money was very rude and told us she didn’t have enough change to pay us out full amount of change. We both paid with 20 dollar bills and we each got 16 dollars back and she told us she couldn’t give us our extra 50 cents back considering cookies are 3.50. Yes 50 cents isn’t much but very unprofessional, the parent figure there just sat back and watched it all happen. Thank you!”
