The following report of the first
annual encampment of the Girl
Scouts OF Hanna is made by Scout
Captain Dorothy Christensen.
On the morning of August 8, the
Girl Scouts gathered together at the
school gymnasium, where they we're
taken or conveyed by the awaiting
cars to Rattlesnake-this being their
camp for the following two weeks.
Most of the equipment was taken
early that morning by a team furn-
ished by William Nelson. The cars
used for taking the Girls to camp
were owned by Mr.. Kenny. Ivor Chris
Jensen, Mr.. Morgan and Lynwood
Smith. Among the Girl Scouts who
made the trip to Rattlesnake were
Helen Kenny. Edith and Muriel
Crawford. Leona Tate, Evelyn Chris
Jensen, Elizabeth Rae, Merle Hend-
ricks, and Dorothy Christensen, their
new Scout Captain.
Upon our arrival at camp-'Oct-
agon Camp" as 1t was later named
with the aid of the men who accom-
panied us there, immediate prepar-
attsns were made for putting UP our
tsAtsf and n thing and another.
However our thorough house-clean-
ing did not begin until the following
day-Monday. And 1t was some
cleaning! The girls set to work i'm
mediately after breakfast and by
noon had the camp all spick and
span-a very striking contrast to
what we found the day before.
Tuesday was the day set for to
go by our regular schedule. but on
account Of the rain we we're forced
to remain inside our cabin all day,
reading. making candy, and doing
what We could to amuse ourselves,
until Joe Fishers weather man de-
cided to 90 indoors and stay.
: Wednesday morning the sun came
out nice n big. spreading Its rays
far and near-and Of course adding
greatly to our happiness. Even tho
the ground was still somewhat damp
and muddy. we set to work going by
our regular Scout schedule for the
day, and did our best to follow It as
near as possible during the remain
Ing days.
Also we had a X. p. schedule
which showed the girls what
they were supposed to do each day
In the kitchen. Each girl took her
turn daily In cooking the meals.
washing dishes. sweeping. etc. Each
and everyone performed her duty
willingly and perfectly-not one of
them was heard to even let out a
' word OF protest. And l might say
now that Am proud OF those seven
girls. proud OF the way which they
performed their duties. and took
things during our whole two weeks
OF camp.
On Monday. August II, the girls
climbed to Middle Peak OF Elk
Mountain-under the guidance of
the Boy Scout Master. Mr.. GeorEs
MylrOie. Several OF the Girls in ths
Troop were unable to make the an
tire trip. and SO. much to their dis
appointment. were forced to turn
back to camp. after going four or
five miles. The rest of the Scouts
returned to camp sometime after
five o'clock-to enjoy = supper made
ready by Mr.. Morgan.

stand out foremost In our two weeks
