and Mrs. Doran McFadden Our spe-
cial leader for our first outing was
Miss Ruth Foster, high school biOlo-
gy teacher. Miss Foster told the
Brownies about the different trees
i and leaves which they gathered
while shuffling through the leaves.
The leaves were pressed and made
into scrapbook by each Brownie
as a reminder of a certain beau
i tiful fall day they all enjoyed.
Miss Foster showed the Brownies
how to take two sheets of paper
and crayon, making a beautiful
colored outline drawing of the
leaves which is what they did for
their scrapbooks. 1t is people like
Miss Foster that make all of our
scouting so worthwhile. by giving
willingly of their time and know
ledge. Along on our trip was Miss
Barbara Tebbens, a senior scout
who has been and helped our troop
since almost its very beginning last
year. Barbara attends our meetings
and by her many abilities and will
ingness to help others has won a
place in each and every Brownies
heart of Troop 1876.
Our troop has also made Pledge
Wall Plaques by spelling out the
Brownie Promise with macaroni
alphabet letters glued on five paint
ed tongue depressors and attached
to a colorful ribbon. These Wall
Plaques are to hang in their favor
| ite room to remind them always
to be at the top. Sometimes they
| forget, but they do try to live their
pledge and be good Brownies every
day. On Friday, November % our
troop along with others were guests
of the Milford Library and heard
Mrs. /. G. Burton. Anyone hearing
Mrs. Burton read to children know
the joy we had in listening. To
earn extra money for the service
project for the Milford Memorial
Hospital, our Brownies sold salted
peanuts the week before Thanks
giving. Our whole troop say Many
Thanks to everyone making our
sales so successful. All the Brownies
had fun, gained some helpful ex-
perience, met new friends and the
proceeds are going to go to do some
good for others. Our troop is now

work We are making gifts for our
mothers. OF course this will be
told later as Christmas gifts are
secrets.
