Mrs Jones said that 1914 was the
biggest camping year in Girl Scout
history with a 27.8 increase over
1s43 She stated that many girls
had to be turned away due to the
lack of funds and facilities. Will
mington does not have an establish
ed camp, she pointed out, and one
reason for this is that the camp
program has to be entirely self
supporting.
She said that through a joint
camp with Goldsboro this year
more girls could be Accommodated
than last year.
In July, she announced, a camI
will be held for the 80 registered
Negro scouts.

camp, spoke briefly on the activ

She revealed that 1874 girls can be
Accommodated for one week each

that the local organization coulc
have its on camp next year.
