We hope that everyone in Milford
is aware that this is Girl Scout
Week, and that March 18th is our
birthday. 1t has been an active week
for all Scouts, beginning with
Church Services on Sunday. March
9th, at the Avenue Methodist
Church. All leaders are to be COM
plimented on the efforts they exer-
cised in asking their girls to attend
the service as unit. The atten-
dance was much larger than antici-
pated. A sincere measure of thanks
is extended to all members of the
Avenue Church for inviting the Girl
Scouts to attend their Sunday Ser
vice. We know that the church was
over-fiowing and that some of the
church members had to sit in the
study. The service was one of great
inspiration and was enjoyed by
everyone
Milford troops have good reason
to be proud of the exhibits they
have on display in the windows of
the Humes Hardware store and the
Pierce Hardware Store Troops No.
10 and No. rs have set of dolls
that depict the organizing of troop.
Troops~1S5 and 180 have a record
number of handicrafts, including a
duplicate Christmas tree and Christ
mas cards that the girls made at
their annual Christmas party.
Troops 13 and 156 have made a
bridge over which Brownie
crosses to become an intermediate
Scout. Troop 83 has a poster display
on a badge they are working on.
Troops 3S and So display the five
requirements a girl must fulfill in
order to earn her First Glass badge
Troop rs have displayed their eff
forts in working on the Dabbler
badge. Scouting is not an activity
that can be achieved by leader
and her girls alone. SO to all who
have helped us celebrate our birth
