the operating budget for the Girl Scouts,
but furnishes no funds for such things
as camp improvements.

Scout program through their contribu

A large percentage of the membership
of local troops is composed of daughters
of Fieldcrest employees.
Through the years, women employees
and wives of employees have taken an
active part as leaders, troop committee
men, and Council officials. Many of
them not now associated with the Girl
Scouts have made a tremendous con
tribution in past years.
