And Girl Scouts said "We will stop this stuff!"  Guess what?  They haven't.

Fast-forward seven months to July 2012. Christy, again, rallied her troops to head out to Girl Scouts’ stores, where — to her surprise — she claims not much has changed. While two stores were selling updated copies of the “MEdia” book — a new version that has removed the Media Matters reference — she says the majority were still selling and promoting the old version.

Additionally, a sixth book was ordered from Girl Scouts National Headquarters in New York. In the end, four out of the six books startlingly still featured an unchanged page 25 that urged young readers to use Media Matters’ web site. Only two locations — the National Headquarters and the Girl Scouts Eastern Missouri — sold new copies of the book, Christy reports.
