The band Allstar Weekend's newest video displays values that are "clearly inconsistent" with those of the Girl Scout organization, its leader said.
A popular band will not be playing in a major Girl Scout event in St. Louis next weekend following the discovery of a video that organizers say is not consistent with their values. Allstar Weekend, who has gained popularity for appearances on the Disney Channel, was scheduled as the main act for the BIG Day FamFest, a large festival on Sept. 22 organized by Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri in downtown St. Louis. But the band has been pulled from the festival following the release of a music video for its song Life As We Know It. The video features what appears to be teen girls and boys drinking alcohol, smoking from a bong, stripping, throwing a chair in a swimming pool and throwing a bag of trash at a moving car.

Forgot to order? It's not too late to fill your freezer with Thin Mints!
The Girl Scouts were out in force Friday night in Wentzville. One booth hawked Thin Mints and Trefoils outside Walgreens. At Walmart, a booth at each entrance made sure that customers didn't miss out on the chance to make their yearly purchase of Carmel Delights or Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies. Troop #3602 from Wentzville manned the tables at Walmart. The Cadette troop, under the the direction of leader Lisa Hoguet, is planning a trip to Chicago the first week of June with the proceeds of their cookie sale. Assistant Brandia Thietje introduced the girls. "They've been together since kindergarten," she said. Sales were going well that evening, Hoguet said, totalling about sixty boxes. The traditional cookie sale has seen a few changes …
