WTF of the Day: Girl Scouts have sleepover at the mal

The local girl scouts are having a sleepover at the mall and can earn a merit badge from it.  Seriously, WTF?!?!?  I have to admit that I like to shop and have certainly spent a lot of time doing so, but it’s not exactly a habit that needs to be taught and encouraged.
Probably a good idea to stay away from the mall that night, too 😉 From the San Jose Mercury News:

Now that’s a sleepover: Girl Scouts and Brownies from Santa Clara County will be camping out at Westfield Valley Fair during a mall sleepover night that begins at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25, and ends at 7:30 a.m. Sunday. The Scouts and their troop leaders and chaperones will be spending 12 hours at the shopping center participating in events that include shopping, eating, a dance party and learning about the Earth’s climate change with reps from the Climate Project.
Many of the mall retailers will remain open for the girls and their guardians to shop after Valley Fair closes to the public at 9 p.m. And instead of s’mores and hot dogs, the munchies include a midnight pizza party at Pizza My Heart.
"Several thousand” Scouts are expected at the first-time event for the shopping center, Valley Fair marketing director Stacy Carroll said. And yes, the Scouts earn a badge for their mall sleepover experience.
