Nets for Crabs To reach the camp, take a hideaway dirt road extending to Gerritsen Inlet from Everett Ave., in projected Marine Park. At the end, turn right along another dirt trail, through swamp grass four and five feet high. A quarter mile down, right on the sand, are the three tents, the American flag, and the shamrock banner of the Girl Scouts. Officially the camp convenes Mondays and Wednesdays. A couple of girls turn cartwheels in the sand.
Some girls get housekeeping duty.
A few brothers go on patrol to keep away bullies. Ten girls go off crabbing. They make their own nets, stringing cord V-wise between two bamboo poles, knotting knots along the Vs. Another group plays games. The girls form a circle, two by two.
