Scouts fill
weekend with
camping activities
Music, learning about govern
ment, jumping rope and dancing
were just a few of the activities of
203 Girl Scouts and leaders who at
tended Hoke County's Girl Scout
Camp at the J.W. Turlington
School on March 10.
The scouts and leaders opened
the day by saying the pledge to the
flag, singing "America" and
repeating the Girl Scout Pledge
and Laws.
During the morning, the scouts
' attended three workshops. The
Music Workshop was conducted
by Mrs. Betty Upchurch, a teacher
at Turlington.
Mrs. Upchurch led the scouts in
the singing of several Girl Scout
songs - including "1 Am A Girl
Scout", "Girl Scouts Together",
and "Taps", plus several other
songs.
The Flag Ceremony was con
ducted by SSG David Butler from
the 2nd Bn., 252 Armor, National
Guard Unit, Raeford.
SSG Butler told the scouts a
history of the flag, and with the
help of several scouts
demonstrated the proper way to
fold the flag. He also discussed the
importance to respect the flaj^and
answered lots of questions.
Miss Mamie McNair, a girl scout
leader, lead the workshop on
Troop Government. She divided
the girls into groups. Each group

then elected a leader, and selected
a name - they were then a patrol.
It is the responsibility of the patrol
leader to take ideas from her patrol
to the Court of Honor for discus
sion and planning with other
patrol leaders in her troop.
The afternoon activities includ
ed eating lunches brought from
home, and then scouts and leaders
worked on posters for the parade
on Saturday, and some troops
worked on their own troop badge.
The remainder of the afternoon
was spent by dancing, jumping
rope, and playing basketball.
After a supper of hot dogs,
chips, cookies, and kool-aid, the
leaders showed the scouts that they
had "talent." The leaders per
formed in three skits. The first was
the story of the three bears, but it
was called "The 'Hip' Bears" and
they were hip.
"Pac-Man" followed and saved
the night by getting power from
Girl Scout Pledge and by "eating"
the Laws before the ghosts had a
chance.
The classic "Cinderella" ended
the skits with a disco ball - the
scouts did not know their leaders
could dance like that.
Sleep came after more dancing,
and lots of talking. Sunday morn
ing dawned to breakfast of eggs,
sausage, grits and milk.
From the cafeteria, the scouts
and leaders quietly marched out to
the flag pole where a lovely and
moving flag ceremony was per
formed
