/ Each of the 18 troops has
chosen the study of the people
Of one or more countries as a
continuing project in world
friendship, which will culmi-
nate on a troop level with a
dramatization, puppet show or
display of crafts, depending on
the choice Of the individual
troops. In this manner, each
girl scout develops an attitude
of sympathy and understanding
not only of people in far-away
countries but also in her own
daily relationships. They are
doing research in libraries, de-
veloping pen pals through cor
respondence, learning foreign
folklore, music and crafts.
