"There are plenty of girls in Madison County who would like to join the Girl Scouts but we are finding it harder and harder to find adequate leadership." Tania went on to say that there are some troops which are active in the county but there are other sections, such as Marshall, which are not active at the present. She spoke highly of several former Girl Scout leaders but stated that many of them have been forced to slow down due to other responsibilities. She highly commended the fine work and dedication of Mrs. Marie Davis, of Route 5, Mar shall "She is a great inspiration to all of us and her efforts are deeply appreciated by the girls and the Girl Scout officials of the Pisgah Girl Scout Coun sil," Mrs. Rollman said. She pointed out that to have a successful and productive Girl Scout Troop, it is essential to have leadership. She explained that any lady who would like to be a leader or assistant leader need not hesitate if she hasn't had Scout training. Anyone who is willing to devote time for the girls can quickly learn the duties from other officials and the Scouts. Surely there are women who have time to devote to the development of young girls If interested contact Mrs. Marie Davis, Route 5, Marshall, phone 649-2593. She will give you full information.
