Almost immediately she was asked to  leave. All non-Scout adults were kicked out of the room, which was  packed with adolescent girls.<\/p>\n<p>Her curiosity piqued, Slater lingered by the door and when the panel  ended she went immediately back inside to look around. What she found  has shocked her and shocked Girl Scout moms around the country. Slater  found a stack of brochures produced by Planned Parenthood called  &#8220;Healthy, Happy and Hot&#8221; that among other things explained to the girls,  &#8220;Some people have sex when they have been drinking or using drugs.
