' Girl Scout Councils To Be Consolidated MIAMI BEACH CUPI) — Op ponents of a program to conso lidate local Girl Scout councils were voted down over-whelmingly Wednesday at the Girl Scouts na tional convention. Relegates reaffirmed by a 2,439 to 359 vote the 17-year-old "coun cil coverage’’ program of the na tional council, which is aimed at strengthening local councils through consolidations and mer gers. Convention spokesmen said the program has resulted1 in more sources of support for local coun cils and more self sufficiency in providing scouting programs. Several local councils argued proposals which would have al lowed them to refuse to merge or consolidate at the suggestion of the national council. They were defeated by heavy margins in a committee of the whole before de legates resolved themselves back into convention and gave their backing to the national council’s program. Mrs. Charles TT. Culmer of U bertyville, 111., national Girl Scout president, said after the vote she hoped all scout leaders would “move forward together to meet the most exciting challenge in our history.” Ninety per cent of Girl Scout membership has been put under the council coverage program, which was initiated in 1946 and which so far has reduced the num ber of councils front 1,609 to 696 through consolidations and mer gers.
