Consolidation OF
Groups Planned

In order to cooperate with the
National Council of Girl Scouts
in its effort TO put the organiza-
ton on a firmer basis economical
ly and financially and to assure
better leadership, Girl Scout wor-
kers of the London Council and
also group from Mt. Sterling.
met in the Methodist Church in
London Wednesday, to hear these
ideas from Mrs. Florence Jones,
Of the professional staff of Girl
Scouts in Cleveland and Mrs.
Hayden Edwards, community ad-
visor of Columbus.
Within the next few years, Girl
Scout membership is expected to
increase 44ct while volunteer lea
ders to direct them will increase
only four percent, according to
figures worked out by the Ma
tional Council Hence they feel
it necessary to start at once to
consolidate areas in order to pro-
vide troops with more adequate
leadership and more satisfactory
programs.
These twenty-five from Lon
don and Mt. Sterling who came
together in the interest of Girl
Scouting, first heard the two
trained workers on what is ex-
pected in order to either continue
or promote the movement and
then after discussion, settled down
to working out the fundamentals
for local change.
Within the next two weeks an
area Study Committee with a
membership of six will be chosen:
three from London and three
others from Mt. Sterling and Plain
City, to explore the idea of be-
coming a part of the Columbus
Area Council.
Among the most essential du-
ties of this group will be deter
mining services desired in this
community; recommending council
boundaries; drafting constitution
and bylaws; determining funct-
ion Of boards and committees:
propose means of financing, such
as preparation of budget, deter
mining each comnaunity's share of
the budget; consider plan for pro-
perty owned by council; propose
councils goals.
This study group is expected to
start functioning within the next
month or six weeks with the
assistance of Mrs. Jones and Mrs.
Edwards. They hope to clear a.
way all preliminary groundwork
so that leader training can be
worked into the summer schedule
and that troop organization under
the new Set-up can start in earn
est next fall.
The London Girl Scouts were
incorporated some years ago and
operate under a charter. All
others in the county operate as
lone troops. Under the new plan
for greater efficiency in the move
ment, a lone troop will become
obsolete, and cities and counties
will combine their efforts to fur
ther the hoped-for efficiency. ac-
cording to the leaders at Wednes-
days meeting.
