With Maui's Girl Scouts

Farewell Iokuelani.
Farewell all Girl Scouts,
It's a long long time to wait till next
year.
But Wen camp no doubt"
Forty-seven girl scouts and 10
adults are happier, stronger. and wiser
for having availed themselves of the
opportunity of living for one. two or
three weeks in Kailua's beautiful
country.
We all loved "Olinda Aloha camp
last year but there is absolutely no
comparison between the two. Pokue-
ami Camp" met our every desire. The
location, the hikes, the swimming
pool and u neghbors were lust
right. Even the moon wore a new
gown each night for u benefit.
Every Scout lived up to the ten Girl
Scout Laws which were the laws of
the camp and performed her duties
IN the same happy spirit as when she
played liked or swan. Even the few
rainy days did not dampen our spirits
because Mrs. Deinert and Gussie sur
prlsed us with lemon pie" and other
unheard Of delicacies for camp-life.
Mr.. Pogue and his good family look
ed after us constantly and fairies had
nothing on them. We shall always be
deeply grateful for their unusual in
terest and help.
1t is unnecessary to mention the
various events as they were duly
chronicled by the girls themselves. |
wish, however, to commend highly the
sporting spirit shown by all who took
the overnight hike to Keanae and
back a distance of "a miles. Blistered
feet and weary bodies dragged into
camp and for many it was absolutely
the hardest thing they had ever done:
but like all worthwhile events it had
to be really worked for and the ex-
perience proved invaluable to us all.
Our commissioner, Mrs. f. f. Bald
win arranged for all our transportation
both by rail and trucks. We appreci-
ate her generosity and the plantations
for responding so willingly.
The Boy Scouts, DR.. Baldwin, Mrs.
Hair, and the Alexander House Settle
ment helped us out with tents, cots,
etc, and we thank them.
We were glad to have Miss Cecil
Black, Girl Scout Executive of Homo
lulu with us for a few days the first
week and hope she enjoyed the camp.
Our camp-ires were always a source
of great pleasure to us all. Much
talent was discovered and we agree
that the Lahaina girls have rightfully
earned their entertainers badge. A
camp song was composed by the first
weeks scouts.
1--WE were camping in Kailua at the
Pokuelani Camp
at was moonlight in Kailua where the
eve tents stood.
"The camp-fires blazed where scouts
were singing.
"The pool where we go swimming is
cool and deep all the time.
1--WE were camping in Kailua,
"The dearest camp we know"
A presentation ceremony was held
during the second week at which time
the following scouts received their
merit badges.
Dorothy Cup Choy, Makawao -
Health winner.
Kikuyo Matsumoto, Spreckelsville-
Hostess, first aid.
Suey Ham, Observation-Disclosures,
first aid.
Kanayo Fujimura, Spreckelsville-
Hostess.
Many of the girls have nearly earn
ed their Pioneer badge and IA passed
their swimming test for their first
class work.
So ended our second years camp.
The girls join the director in stating
that they are proud to be scouts and
citizens of Maui and pledge ourselves
once again to fulfill the slogan Maui
No Ka Oh"
