Girl Scout News

ford Girl Scouts officially began
with a meeting of the Neighbor-
hood Association on September "a
in the Kiwanis Building. The Asso-
citation welcomed two new Brown
lie Troops to be led by Mrs Emma
Cunning and Mrs. Ethel Jones.
With deep regrets the members
accepted the resignation of Winnie
Lynch from her post as Troop Or
ganizer. Mrs. Lynch had done an
excellent job in this capacity and
her absence will be acutely felt.
Mrs. Clement Nevins was unani-
mously elected to finish out Mrs.
Lynch's term of office.
A new nominating committee was
elected TO report TO the January
meeting at wnIcn time the team Tor
next year will be elected Names
of this committee will be reported
at later date.
A new policy was established re-
quiring on all cnecks the sigma
lures of both the leader and troop
committee member in charge of fl
nance. No cheaks will be accepted
at the bank without these two sig
natures.
Much difficulty has been expert
enced in setting UP the program
for the older Girl Scouts. Their
high school studies are increasing
ly difficult, requiring more study
at home, and, of course, there are
the sports activities in which the
girls wish and should participate
Although the girls desire to con-
tlnue their scouting, there is a
time problem. It has been proposed
that their regular meetings be held
once each month IN the evenings.
The Milford Girl Scouts, along
with all the others of the Peninsula
Council, are most gratified with the
generosity shown by Mrs. Walter
II. Penrose in presenting to the
Council the deed to the Camp Todd
property. The beautiful 165 acres,
situated on Silver Lake at Willis
ton, Maryland, has been the camp
site of this area since 1850.
Camp Todd will be available for
camping during the Fall. Miss
Gambler will not be there, but ex-
perienced leaders may go for over
night camping and cookouts. The
charge per night will be $500 with
the use of the kitchen and $1.5Ol
without the kitchen.
The Girl Scout calendars are
ready and. are very beautiful this
year. They may be ordered from
your counselors at $.25 each to the
troops and $.35 for sale. This is not
to be a money-raising event, there
fore please feel free to order any
quantity needed.
The weekly Saturday morning
newscasts over Radio Station
W.K.S.B. will be resumed on Octo-
ber 18th. Please mark this date on
your calendar and don't forget to
listen
With great pride, we point to the
following troops which have handed
in very commendable community
service records for the past year:
Brownie Troops 19, under Mrs. Roy
Reichhold; No 1SO under Mrs. Dor
othy Rothmell and No. 1856 under
Mrs. Claude Lynch; and Girl Scout
Troops No. So under Mrs. Charles
Lundstedt and No. 78 under Mrs.
Parker Hitch. The Importance of
getting these records in at the
earliest possible moment cannot be
stressed too much.
Rear Admiral Henry Sipple,
USN (Ret.) is in charge of the Girl
Scout Fund Drive in this area and
we sincerely appreciate Adm. Sip
pies generosity in giving his time
to our cause. We also wish to thank
the Jaycees who will be running
the fund drive. Please remember
when you are asked to contribute
that we need paid professional help
as well as the help which is given
by our leaders and mothers. Our
girls deserve the best we can af-
ford them, and your contribution,
no matter how small will help to-
ward better facilities and better
training.
In order that we may get, full
news coverage of the troops, all
troop publicity chairmen are re-
quested to please send in the news
of your activities no later than
Sunday of each week. We also wish
to request that no news be sent
direct to the Chronicle, but to your
association publicity chairman,
Mrs. William G. Huyler, 413 South
Walnut Street.
