Troop T1S
Recent meetings of Girl Scout
Troop No. rs have been busy ones.
Some of the girls have been
working for their Personal Health
Badge. They have discussed:
1. What is necessary in we'll
balanced diet for girls of their age.
2. What types of shoes and hose
are good or bad.
3. What innoculationS each girl
has received and how serums are
made.
4. The proper care of teeth, skin,
hands and nails.
= 5. The occupational opportuni-
ties for women in health work.
They demonstrated good light
ing for reading and sewing.
Some of the girls did cooking
as credit toward the Homemaker
Badge and served it to the troop.
Susan Reichhold made Brownies.
Kristen Pearce baked oatmeal
cookies. Geri Clark baked a Devils
Food Cake. Patsy Farlow made
cup cakes. Susan Mayhem baked
cup cakes and decorated them as
Thanksgiving turkeys. A folded
cup cake paper was famed out
for the tail and stuck in the icing,
a two inch piece of pipe cleaner
served as the neck with a piece of
candy corn for the head. Susan
shared her cupcakes with Mrs.
Pete Hermann (our shut-in friend)
One requirement for the Second
Glass Badge is for the Scout to
lead the troop in a game. Here are
two games we have played: Hiking
Equipment-Each patrol was given
a piece of paper and a pencil, on
signal, number one runs to the
sheet of paper, writes down an
item that the troop will need on
an all day hike; first-aid kit, COM
pass, matches, knife etc. She runs
back and touches number two
player. The team or patrol with
the most correct items listed in a
five minute period wins.
Newspaper Costumes-Each pa
troll was given twenty-four straight
pins, two pieces of ribbon and
several pieces of newspaper. One
girl in each patrol was chosen to
be the model, the others were
fashion designers. They were given
fifteen minutes to complete cos
tune.
The Kool Kitten patrol made a
black and white sheath jumper
with ct fat band hat.
The Minute Girls patrol made a
full skirted dress with gathered
hat
The Slick-Chicks made an off the
shoulder large puffed sleeved dress
with an diversified sun-bonnet type
hat.
For crafts we are doing Mosaic
work with vinyl tile. After many
ideas and baskets full of waste
paper each girl came up with her
own design.
Susan Kirby has a perky oval,
Carolyn Kicker has a broken heart
design, JoAnn Collins and Judy
Jefferson have big, red happy
hearts, Barbara Hitch has a strik-
ing star design, Kristen Pearce
has sailboat, Susan Mayhem a
cocker spaniel puppy, Bonny Jones,
an autumn leaf, Bonnie Hoey, an
interesting fish, Sandra Ninzehelt-
zer,, a holly design, Shirley Pos
ties, Patsy Farlow, Pam Erdman
and Geri Clark have fancy flowers,
Dona West made a country church,
Marjorie Fisher has barn and
Cindy Endress a country scene,
Susan Reichhold, an elephant de-
sign.
The finished product can be
picture, tray or hot dish mat.
We also actively participated in
the collection of gift items for the
needy making these available to
our VFW friends for Christmas
distribution.
These lines were written as
preparations for our December %
Christmas Dance were being COM
pleted.
We wish everyone-and espe-
cially our leaders; Mrs. Olan Evans
and Mrs. Parker Hitch-a Happy
Holiday Season.
