Lori Participates In Dakota Event Lori Davis, ‘daughter of Ms.’ Linda Davis was a participant last summer in a two-week Girl: Scout Wider Opportunity. event home-based in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The event, called “Do It In Dakota”, brought 76 girls from 35 states together to visit the cultural and historical sights of South Dakota’s historic Black Hills. Among the stops for the girls were Mount Rushmore for the night lighting ceremony, hiking excursions up Harney Peak, largest peak east of the Rocky Mountains, the Badlands Na- tional Monument, the world- renowned Spearfish Passion Play, and tours of the Homestake Gold Mine, the largest producing gold mine in the Western Hemisphere. The Girls also met with Girl Scout Troops from throughout Western South Dakota, toured the Strategic Air Command Air Force Base near Rapid City, and attended Deadwood’s “Trial of Jack McCall,” the man who shot and killed Wild Bill Hickok. “Do It In Dakota” was hosted by the Black Hills Girl Scout Council and marked the first time a national Wider Oppor- LORI DAVIS - tunity event had been held in the Black Hills. Usually, events such as these are limited to about 60 girls, but because of the interest generated in this one in par- ticular, participation was ex- panded to include 76 girls. Kansas and Oklahoma sent the largest delegations to the event, with Maine sending one girl the farthest distance to par- ticipate.

Fund Honors Founder To Juliette Low, world friend- ship was a practical goal, something that people could work for and achieve. How did she find her way to this wonder- ful belief? 0 Her childhood was filled with sunlight, family love, and laughter. With other children, she attended a schoolhouse in a grove of walnut trees, inventing games and tableaux and, under the pen name “Daisy,” con- tributing charming poems and il- lustrations.to a magazine. When - she was fourteen, she went to a boarding school in Virginia and from there, to a private school in New York City. At eighteen, she became a popular debutante in Savannah. When she married William Low, she went to live in England. Her life was busy and glamourous. After the death of her hus- band, Juliette Low felt that she had accomplished very little in her life. When she met Boy Scout founder, Lord Baden- Powell and heard about Scouting, she recognized something real, something ex- citing, yet idealistic. And when she came back to Savannah, she Si = X= telephoned her friend, Nina Pape, and said, “Come right over. I've got something for the girls of Savannah, and all America, and all the world, and we’re going to start it tonight.” “And all the world...” Juliette Low knew that good. citizenship and peaceful living extended beyond the borders of home to embrace the world. Had she liv- ed to see great jet planes ‘ speeding across oceans, linking the peoples of the earth together, she would have felt today, more than ever in the history of “mankind, the need for world friendship. Like Lord Baden- Powell, she put her trust in the power of Guiding and Scouting Thinking Day By happy coincidence, Lord Baden-Powell and Olave, Lady Baden-Powell had the same birthday-February 22. This date has become Thinking Day for ~ millions of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world. On Thinking Day, their thought waves encircle the globe, bring- ing silent greetings to sisters everywhere and keeping alive the memory of their founders. Thinking Day is celebrated in almost as many ways as Girl Guides and Girl Scouts can im- agine. Some celebrations are dramatic, as in New Zealand where our sister Girl Guides often camp on a high hill to greet Angie Subler Participates In Thinking Day Event wil Sat a a Ts LG & { { _N—— S co ph hi fh be te AE for international understanding. She threw herself, heart and soul, into the work of the Inter- national Council of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, never missing a meeting when she was in Europe and frequently crossing the ocean especially to attend one. It is not strange, therefore, that the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund was set up as a fitting tribute to her memory. : The Fund is made of dimes and dollars saved and earned by Girl Scouts of all. ages throughout the country. This money is spent to weave a net- work of friendship among girls - around the world. Most of the money goes to the Girl Scout in- ternational exchange plan. The fund also provides books and training for leaders in other parts of the world and buys useful things for Girl Scouts and Girl Guides who have suffered catastrophes. The Juliette Low World Friendship Fund is just the sort of idea Mrs. Lowe would have loved. It turns the idea of world friendship into a reality, and it expresses the faith and good will of every single Girl Scout in the United States of America. Held the dawn. Other celebrations feature special projects that help Girl Guides and Girl Scouts learn more about each other. Some Girl Guides and Girls Scouts have parties and enjoy foods, songs, and dances from countries around the world. And for many the focus is on sharing, especially through donations to the Juliette Low World Friend- ship Fund. Girl Scouts from Kings Moun- ~ tain and Bessemer City troops gathered at Resurrection Lutheran Church on February 25 to celebrate “Thinking Day.” This year the theme was “Friends Around The World.” The World Flag Ceremony was presented by Cadette Troop No. 4 of St. Matthew’s Lutheran ‘Church. The Promise and Law Ceremony was led by Mrs. Janet Ware, leader of Brownie Troop. No. 32, First Presbyterian Church. Brownies, Cadettes, and Senior Scouts from various troops participated. The Flame Ceremony was led by Susan Goforth and Jane Talbert, leaders of Junior Troop No. 40, A.R.P. Church. During this im- pressive ceremony, scouts lighted candles to represent and honor sister scouts of different races and cultures. Songs of friendship were sung during the program, To conclude program, the girls went outside and released helium filled balloons with their names, troop numbers and spon- sors tied to them. ‘Refreshments were served.
