ed it, under the recent stress for
real Americanism, citizenship
training center"
Parents should realize, Mrs. A.
w. Rosenwald, chairman Of the
camp committee, said, that the
all around development Of the girl
is benefited in many ways, includ-
ing learning to work, play, and
live with other girls, learning to
assume responsibility for herself
and for her share in the activities.
She learns new skills and improves
old ones under the leadership Of
qualified counselors."
In order to make camping
q safe, healthfIl, and adventIr-
ous experience for the Girl Scout
it Is necessary to meet and
maintain certain camp stand
ards" she said. That Sank Gem
tres camp has met these stan
dards is evidenced in the fact
that the Hiawatlla region head
quarters has recognized the
local camp as an official Girl
Scout Camp.

A new flagpole is a part Of the
scheduled improvements at the site.
A variety of activities including
crafts, hobbies, nature lore, Scout

games, was announced by the
Council this week as they pointed
to a camp so near to the girls
homes. Advantages they listed as
a fine vacation in perfectly beau
tiful setting on Sank Lake, a fine
and last fellowship, the finest
source of Scouting for the girl.
The program is available to
Scouts for four dollars for one
week and seven for the two weeks
Of camping. IF there are individ-
uals or organizations who like to
give a Girl Scout "campership,"
they are asked to call Mrs. Rosen-
wald, camp chairman.
Camps are citizenship training
centers," the Council pointed out
this week. They pointed to GER
tain characteristics of citizenship
that might be broadened in camp
life. Recognition and observance
of the rights of others; freedom
with reasonable limits to think,
speak, and act for oneself; and q
feeling Of responsibility as a MEM
Der Of group were listed as GER
tain points calculated to result in
camping activity.

been completed as yet but plans
are being made to give the girls
a wide choice Of activities for the
two weeks Of camping. More and
more attention is being given to
outdoor living and pioneer work,
