Former GS CEO pleads guilty to embezzlement

What is up with this?  I missed this story the first time around.

Carne, 62, pleaded guilty to a single count of embezzlement Monday in Hanover Circuit Court and faces up to 20 years in prison when she is sentenced in July.

Carne, sitting beside defense lawyer Craig Cooley and speaking in a steady voice, calmly admitted embezzlements that totaled $22,979.80 from the 12,000-Scout strong Girl Scouts of the Commonwealth of Virginia, which covers 30 counties and six cities, including Richmond.

Was she a GS as a girl or as an adult?  I’m just wondering who we’re really hiring when it comes down to it.  I know there are business decisions that have to be made, but it behooves us as an organization to have people in place that have a history of Scouting and know what it’s really all about.  I’m glad to see though that the GS of the Commonwealth replaced her with someone who has a background in scouting according to the article.
