Brownies Enjoy
Overnight at the Hut:
Perhaps the last overnights in
the Hut during this season have
already taken place, and this we
regret, for the experience is one
that most Scouts and Brownies
enjoy.
A group of Brownies who at
tended Day Camp spent last Fri
day night at the Hut which not
even the downpour of rain de
layed, except as Brownies wait
ed outside the Hut for showers
to cease.
Singing, and various forms of
impromptu dramatics served as
entertainment during the evening.
However, it must be admitted that
the most important event was the
selecting of a spot for the
“bunk” and preparation for bed.
Blanket rolls were placed, per
sonal belongings located and be
fore dark a number of Brownies
had crawled in! . . . But not to
Senior Scouts Margaret Brown,
Patsy Smith, Louise and Frances
Coyle found this experience with
Brownie Scouts a rare one and
one they will never forget.
As the rain was still pouring
the next morning, a very stylish
breakfast was enjoyed around 9:15.
Tables were set, and the “Brow
nie Family” was soon enjoying a
hearty breakfast which they had
prepared with the help of their
"elders.” Time just flew and almost
before things were in order once
more, a thing which is definitely
expected of Brownies, parents,
were arriving for their daughters
and the stay at the Hut was end
ed .. . and without getting to
the cherished job — that of wash
ing the front porch!
Those present were Ann Bever
ley Gates, Iris Faye Sullivan, Bet
ty Jean Iver, Marian Rochelle
Ivey, Edna Ann Spivey, Jeanne
Gibson, Betty Wilson, Hariette Ad
kins, Betty Bardin, Shirley Ann
O’Melia, all of Troop 1; Margie
Black of Troop 9; ^Gwendolyn
Bennett of Troop 12; Estelle
Greenberg and Bettie Jean Cul
lom of Troop 13.

Girl Scouts Spend
The Night at Hut:
On Monday night a group of
y Girl Scouts arrived at 7 p. m.
to spend a night at the Hut.
Their first job was to gather
tinder for breakfast fires in order
that it be dry and ready for use.
When all was finished and the
Scouts settled down to the main
program for the occasion, the
field of International Friendship
was introduced, materials were
spread out, magazines on hand
and each Scout soon chose a
country that interested her in
order that she begin her own
search for materials needed to
complete the Second Class re
quirements. One or two Scouts
began a study on the World
Knowledge Badge. Time slipped by
so rapidly that it was bedtime
before we knew it, and the usual
preparations had to be made.
Breakfast cooked out-of-doors
was on time and even the clean
up was on schedule. Once more
Scouts began delving into the
field of International Friendship.
Countries which proved interest
ing were China, England, Canada;
Hawaii, Mexico, and Switzerland.
At 10:30 a. m. Scouts went to
the Public Library to setup their
findings that other Scouts might
take advantage of the research,
and feel free to use the materials
collected. Too, the Library, with
its reference materials makes pos
sible the completion of the Sec
ond Class requirements and sev
eral of the Badges if Scouts will
avail themselves of the opportun
ity. (From troop records this field
of International Friendship is one
of the few fields that a number of
Scouts have not completed and
the summer months might be a
good time to complete it.
Scouts taking part in the acti
vity were Patricia Ann Johnson,
Alma and Thelma Hancock, Reba
Barnes, Mary Jo Suiter, Betsy
Allen, Barbara Britton, Emily
Biggs and Marie Roche. Those
helping were Misses Louise Brown,
Bettie King and Margaret Brown.
