LOCAL GIRL SCOUTS TO
OBSERVE 25th BIRTHDAY
On March 12th of this year the
Girl Scouts celebrate their 25th an
niversary. It was just a quarter
century ago that Juliette Garden
Lawe formed the first troop. That
was at a tea part in Savannah, Ga.
And now the camp-fires of the Girl
Scouts burn in more than fourteen
thousand American places. There
are nearly four hundred thousand
members. There are 14,251 troops
of girls between ten and eighteen
years of age, and 1,734 Brownie
packs of girls between seven and
ten. In more than four hundred
places there are “Little Homes,”
headquarters maintained by local
and national Scout organizations,
and there are three hundred and
fifty regular camps where the girls
and their leaders go in summer for
weeks of hearty outdoor living.
Of the fifty-two badges that a
Girl Scout can earn, twenty-two
are for outdoor doings, such as
swimming, gardening, the obser
vation of animals. There are e
leven badges for household activi
ties;' nine for cultural interests
such as dancing and art, and ten
for miscellaneous achievemtns.
Many a community will long re
member the good work that the
Girl Scouts did during the floods
of last spring, and many a park
and playground blooms with shrubs
planted by the Scouts.
The Girl Scout organization in
Roanoke Rapids is still quite a
baby. Scouting was started here
with a group of twelve girls in the
fall of 1936. Now they have organ
ized and registered troops with
approximately seventy-five Scouts.
This week saw the beginning of the
fifth troop for Roanoke Rapids or
ganized with Mrs. Bill Harris as
captain.
In keeping with International
Month (February); Girl Scouts of
Troop II presented an attractive
display of dolls dressed in peasant
costumes of France, Germany, It
aly, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Den
mark, Norway, Holland, Scotland,
Hungary and Switzerland at the
Parent Teacher meeting on Wed
nesday afternoon which was en
joyed by all present. Booklets de
scribing the country and its people
accompanied each doll. The entire
display showed careful preparation
on the part of the Scouts.
Displayed also was a collection
of fifteen attractive “Remembrance
Cards” for all occasions which the
Scouts are selling.
