All troops of the Milford Girl
Scout Neighborhood Association pay
tribute to a Senior Girl Scout troop
of Arkansas, who responded within
40 minutes to a Red Cross call for
help in feeding flood refugees in
Fort Smith, Arkansas. This expert
ence led the girls to consider what
they might be prepared to do if a
sudden disaster should again strike
their area AS a result, the troop
has now become prepared on short
notice to provide the immediate
needs of a large group of people for
few hours, to shelter as many as
So for as long as necessary and to
care for a group of children.
The girls have developed a call
system to enable them to respond
within minutes. They can open
their cabin and serve hot soup, cof--
fee and bread and butter to ap-
proximately 100 people within an
hour. Each girl has made a personal
emergency kit containing a fash
light and two cans of soup, first
aid kit, and bag to be given to the
refugees containing such items. as
toothbrush, comb and soap. A chill
pared containing jumping ropes,
balls, games, etc. Many of the girls
have their child-care badges.
