GIRL
SCOUTS

they are, | find myself writing
about cook-outs when the logical
equipment for any outdoor activity
is pair of skis and a fur lined
parka but it is nice to have some
thing to remind US of the beautiful
fall weather we did have.
The weekend of October II
seemed to have an especially
stronV "get out of doors" call for
local Girl Scouts.
Rockville Girl Scout Troop $50
took advantage of the weather on
the seventeenth and went on a ma
ture walk and lookout at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Balsam on
Travilah Road. The trees had on
their best fall dress and offered a
good opportunity for nature les
son. No lessons in eating were
necessary.
The outing was planned by the
Agirls with the help of their parents
land those who attended were Mar
garet Adams, Rena LEM, Linda
Beall, Annette Troop, Mary Lou
Wamsley, Linda McAllister, Kathy

Lois Balsam, Cynthia Maxwell,
and Nancy Benson. Mr.. and Mrs.

Wheaton Brownies were well
sprepared for Halloween in cos
tunes they had made. Troop 235
celebrated the birthday of the
United Nations at their first meet
ing using Brownie paper dolls to
learn about Brownies of other
