PL A YTIME: When the sun came
out so did all those people who
caught an early dose of spring
fever. Outdoor basketball games
were abundant and some tennis ac
tivity erupted with the peak from
the sun. The recent cold snap was a
reminder that winter is still with us
officially until next Monday.

Hoke Girl Scout History Recalled
Compiled by Mn. Robert Gatlin
aad
Mrs. Mllo P oat el
Sometime in the year 1941 a
group of girls - including Phyllis
B*ker (Mrs. Luke McNeill), Lydia
McKeithan (Mrs. Bill Stokes). Ann
Graham (Mrs. WiUiam Poole)
and Marie Cameron (Mrs. Marie
Brown) - approached Mrs. V.R.
White the wife of the Hoke High
School Principal, to ask for help in
organizing a Girl Scout Troop.
Mr. and Mrs. White agreed to their
request and Girl Scouting in Hoke
County was a reality.
The Movement was kept alive
? 944-46, an Army wife
helped with the troop. Ann Gore
Hostetler remembers that they
kiutted scarves and mittens for
soldiers in World War II.
The history of the years from
then until 1951 is scant. However
there were Girl Scouts. Mrs. Colon
Scarborough worked with them as
her daughter, Lillian, was then
Scout age.
In the fall of 1951, some in
terested mothers met and discussed
reviving Scouts and from then un
til now, Hoke County had a place
m the Girl Scout Family, even tho*
operating on a "shoe-string"
There was no sponsor nor finan
cial aid until the Woman's Club of
Raeford became the sponsors and
gave $25 a year to be divided
among three troops - eventually
four troops because the Brownie
troop had to be divided. The girls
paid dues - 59 weekly - and the
leaders managed. Surely there was
a hole hi many leaders pocket
books!!!
During this time, troops took
part in many acitivities - selling
Girl Scout Cookies, having
Mother-Daughter banquets with
the girls doing all the work and
planning themselves and guided by
their leaders, marched in parades
with the newly purchased flags -
troops, U.S., and G.S.A. - for
each troop purchased with cookie
money. Day Camp - only a day at a
time - but accomplishing much:
such as teaching girls swimming
and campcraft. Sewing, cooking,
and helping others was a big part
of the weekly meetings. "Check
Po s . bags with school, First Aid
and sewing supplies, were made
children and sent to Korea.
Care" help was sent to a child in
Greece. A "Thank You" letter -
written in Greek - and a picture of
the boy recipient was received.
Our American Greek friend
who ran the Elk Restaurant
translated the letter. We were
humbled by the Greek boy's
thanks and flowery words of praise
for our generosity and love for him
and his love for the United States
Girls Scout participated in Day
Camp at Pine Bluff - 2 whole
weeks - through the courtesy of the
Carolina Council which included
Moore, Lee. and maybe Chatham
Counties - we had a successful and
meaningful experience. About 20
girls were able to attend. Transpor
tation was furnished by the leaders
and expenses were paid by troop
funds. Camp crafts, camp cook
ing menu planning, "chiggcr
righting", swimming, working for
badges, and group participation
were among the many activities
that made a great impression on
the lives of the Girl Scouts -
Brownies, Intermediates, and
Juniors.
In trying to secure professional
help, we learned that Hoke County
was scheduled to be in the Carolina
Council ? with headquarters in
Sanford. Our part, money wise,
was more than Hoke could pay, so
again we were relegated to the
Lone Troop Plan of Girl Scouting.
Leaders from Hoke, however,
were invited to share in training
and workshops of the Cape Fear
Council in Fayetteville.
About this time, mid to late fif
ties, a United Fund was founded in
Hoke County and Girls Scouts
were included, but we were still
unable to join the Carolina Coun
cil. Also at this time, a new
organization of Girl Scouting was
being talked on the National level.
North Carolina was to be divid
ed into four parts - north to south -
and Hoke County was included in
the 19 (Now 20) counties of the
Pines of Carolina Girl Scout
Council. Lone Troops were being
phased out and Girl Scouting
would die completely if we could
not join this council.
By this time, the Woman's Club
had given up the sponsorship
because LEADERS were so hard
to get. It was impossible, or so it
seemed to the Woman's Club, to
continue. During this time, Girl
Scouting lagged.
Not knowing that Girl Scouts
would have a big revival, the
former leaders and sponsors -
wanting to use the cookie money
for a worthwhile project - bought
and donated to the Hoke County
Library, a movie projector and
screen. This is available under
Library personnel supervision for
general use. It has been used by
many people and hopefully, will
continue to be of service. This was
in Honor of the early days of Girl
Scouting in Hoke County and the
Memory of the Lone Troop Era.
The balance in the account was
given to Neighborhood #32 to be
used for their many needs for
equipment.
Happy Day!!!- The Pines of
Carolina Girl Scout Council is now
operating and since about 1963,
Hoke County has been included in
this council. It is funded by the
United Fund and, officially, is
Neighborhood #32. The first
Association Chairman was Mrs.
Robert Gatlin and the second,
Mrs. Milo Postel.
Neighborhood #32 has ac
complished much. Craft work
shops in the summer with Day
Camp activities. There were
regular Day Camps for several
summers, camporees at Ft. Bragg,
Council sponsored Cadette Events,
a participant in two National Girl
Scout Events. A two-week swim
ming camp for boys and girls was
held at Ft. Bragg - with swimming
instructions, crafts, and games.
Volunteers willing took part and
Army personnel were provided
also. The Hoke County Schools
allowed the use of their Activity
Buses.
Girl Scouting kept growing. At
this time there were 16 troops - and
these were very busy. Senior
Scouting grew during this time. In
6 years: there were 23 Program
Aides, 18 Library Aides, 10
Hospital Aides, 5 Aquatic Safety
Aides and 1 Public Relations Aide.

After training in these various
?re?. the Senior Scouts gave a
mnumum of 50 free hours of their
time. The Senior Troop printed a
Newsletter which they very ap
C!? HMined MThc Greenie
Bopper It contained information
NHohii #ctivities the
Neighborhood and a copy went to
,r(?lstCTcd *ir' >n a GS Troop
Girl Scouting again went into a
period when the membership
declined somewhat. Now, with the
charg, ng role in Girl Scouting,
new leaders, and a county resident
as part-time Field Director, it is on
the rise again.
Among other many and varied
activities, service projects, and
community projects, the Cadette
t and Senior Girl Scouts are able to
experience activities for possible
future careers, and all are learning
personal values and insights.
.. become apparent to all
hat Girl Scouts no longer be "pic
tured as a cookie selling group or
a crafts dub or a place to take the
place of a babysitter, BUT as a
special worthwhile part of the
community. Girls learning to take
their places in the world as wives

Girl Scout Advisory Board for the
st time. It meets monthly and is
composed of interested and in

Girl Scouting; believe it should
continue to grow, to be supported
and will work toward that goal.
Among the very early workers in
