Starting with a handful of girls in Savannah, Ga., back in the era before the World War I, the Girls Scout movement has grown in scope and service un til today it proudly claims al most two million active mem bers.

The Compact Negro troops are being reactivated at the present under the leadership of Mrs. Jeanettc Childress, Mrs. ^eanette Sarratt Smith and Mrs. Duella Johnson. Skills,- hobbies, Interests de veloped in Scouting ? from conservation to cookery to dra matics, serve girls well in later years. Among the millions of women who were Girl Scouts are outstanding leaders in the arts, in politics, In community activi ties, in education, in welfare ? among them, too, are wives and mothers who.se first training in homemaking was acquired in connection with the familiar brown or green uniform. Time has broadened the in terests of Girl Scouts. Still giv ing part of her attention to woodcraft, nature study, and outdoor life, today's Girl Scouts is more and more a participant in the civic and welfare activi ties which make her town a bet ter place to live in. She studies child care and serves as a play time supervisor for children in hospitals and institutions. In many areas. Girl Scouts are playground assistants at -parks, day camps, and schools. During the 1952 election campaign, 180, 000 Girl Scouts acted as baby sitters, releasing mothers for trips to registration centers, pri mary balloting, and the polls. But the Girl Scout of today is not merely a citizen of her com munity and her country ? she is a citizen of the world. Stret ching out the hand of friend ship across the seas and the lands, she shares her interests and her experiences with her sisters in 31 countries of the globe. Alone with her Girl Scouts and Girl Guides all over the world are learning that girls everywhere, like people every where, are moved by common aspirations, enjoy common in terests, seek common objectives. Additional adult leadership is needed to meet the call of thous ands of girls who are ready for Scouting. Here, as in towns ev erywhere, the Girl Scouts are calling for volunteers to meet the growing demands of girls. Any woman who Is Interested In working with girls will find that Scouting can mean a renewal of her own girlhood, a chance for closer friendship with her own daughters and their friends and a rewarding contribution to the training of tomorrow's citizens.
