Your thoughtfulness will always be remembered. T. C. Jones 44C BY LUCY CRAY PEEBLES National Girl Scouts 56th an niversary this week finds adult leaders desperately scarce in Hoke County. But there is one woman in Raeford who wants so much for her two girls to have scouting opportunities that she works as a leader in both tfie Raeford troops. Mrs. Al Brown of 303 Third Avenue was approached soon after she, her husband and their two little girlswere transferred here by Burlington. They wanted hertoorganizeaCadette troop. But her interest under standably lay in the age groups of her own children. The Brownie troop was about to go under for lack of leader ship, so she started there and daughter, Kellie, went with her. When the juniors became des perate for help, she also took on the Job of assistant leader there. Hiking off with her on Junior meeting day is older daughter, Hollie. The Brown females sort of had scouting born in them. Mrs. Grace Holland, mother of Mrs. Brown, was scout field director in Carolina Pines Council. She was one of the founders of the Mary Atkinson Day Camp at Selma, where one section was given the name, Hollie, in her honor. Young Hollie likes all the things about scouting, but most of all she loves court of awards night. At one such event sched uled for tonight, she will re ceive three badges, one for achievement in the category for "my country," one for "hospitality," and one for "personal health." All Girl Scouts love camping and Hollie and her troopmates are looking forward to attend ing the camporee at FortBrag next month on LakeMacArthur. But her sister, Kellie, can't go. She is still a Brownie and there are lots of things Brownies can't do until they are older. Kellie makes a big frown be cause she must remain athome while her sister goes camping. But there are other things she likes about Scouting, like mak ing valentines to take to the rest home, taking gifts to old people and playing Brownie games. All the nearly 50 young girls, scouting in Hoke County are in two troops, 22 are Brownies (of the second and third grade level) and 25 are juniors, fourth, fifth and sixth grade level. Mrs. Robert Gatlin, neigh borhood chairman (in this case, county chairman) said that the need for more adult leadership is critical, since some older girls are ready to move up from the junior troop but have nothing in waiting for them on the higher level. Next summer, any Hoke County girl, as a senior scout, would be eligible to go on atrip to Huntsville, Ala., for a con ference on space exploration. Older Raeford girls are miss ing opportunities in this and a dozen other ways because there are no adult volunteers for this group. From their founding date on March 12. 1912, Girl Scouts have made it a tradition to stay ahead of the times. They were en couraged to play basketball, hike through wilderness areas, and like the boys, learn about airplanes. The local Brownie troop is overloaded by two members. Some 10 or more mothers ha'e called to seek admittance for their girls, but the door is closed unless additional lead ers are found and another group organised. The specified limit is 20 members to a troop. This rule is never broken unless a Ji rl moves Into the area who is already a registered scout. In this cae room must be made (or her. Other Girl Scout adult work ers here Include Mrs. Donald Prince, Brownie leader, and Mrs. John Riddle, junior lead er. Girl Scouts need financial aid but are hard workers who endeavor to earn their own way. To raise money for the upcoming camping trip, they sold 875 boxes of cookies. They were notified by headquarters that the two local troops had sold more than four troops in a larger town had sold. Raeford Woman's Club here serves as sponsor for both troops. But it is seldom called upon for aid. The basic values and basic skills of girl scouting are as solid as they have always been. Girls are taught camping skills, art (painting, etc) photography, homemaking and sewing. There are Incentive award.- for every industrious scout. Air Force Flight Nurses as signed to flying duties receive additional pay ... see your local Air Force Recruiter. ft tj & 7 hi THE BROWN GIRLS All three are Girl Scouts. One of them Is a Brownie. Kellie light, says her mother is a Brownie, too, because she is assistant leader of the troop. The older girl, Hollie lell, is a Junior Girl Scout. Her mother Is assistant leader of that troop, too. That must make her a Junior Brownie. TERMITES?
