camp director, wnere tney learned
the theory of camping.
The eight-week camp season is
divided into four periods of two
weeks each and 100 campers are
accommodated each period.
Campers live in units Of Is girls
each with seven counselorS. The
girls are placed in one Of the seven
units according to age. grade and
previous camping and troop ex-
perience.
These units plan their own pro-
gram with the unit staff. They re-
ceive instruction in swimming, ca
noeing, boating, archery, nature,
and arts and crafts. They go on
hikes, cook on trail, learn to build
fires, chop wood, and live comfort
ably in a tent. Overnight hiking,
folk dancing. photography, and
hayrides are enjoyed by all. Camp
fires, dramatics and singing add
fun at the end of the day.
Although enrolment for the COM
ing season is complete, the Girl
Scout organization is planning to
enlarge its camping facilities be-
cause it believes camping is i'm
portant to girls. 1t offers girls the
opportunity to develop useful skills,
to live with others with complete
understanding, to make new friends,
and to enjoy the simple outdoor
fun that will be useful in later life.
The March IA rally at Washing
tor school by troops in that vicinity
drew a capacity audience. 1t marked
the 34th birthday of Girl Scouts

it for the success should be given

chairman; her assistant, Mrs. Car

Problems and is now on Presi-

submission to Congress, it was

quests for foreign credits through
the Export-Import Bank, probably
will be sent to Capitol Hill within
the next few days.
Prime significance of the report
