Girl Scout
News
With school starting, Girl Scout activities are about to get underway again, but these will be severely curtailed unless more troop leaders can be found.
Pat Helmer and Diane Watson, who have been working with the Junior troop, are moving up with the girls now in seventh grade to form a new Cadette troop at the elementary school. Valerie Jones will be leading the Cadette troop at the high school. Most of these girls are ninth graders and will move up to Senior Scouting next year.
Now there are no leaders for the Junior Troop, and girls in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades who are interested in scouting will have no troop unless leaders are found.
The Brownie troop with Carolyn Manwaring and Ruth Williams for leaders is already full with 20 girls who belonged to the troop last year now in second and third grades. Unless more leaders can be found so the group can be split into two troops, no first graders and no more second and third graders can become Brownies.
Most of the girls who have participated in Girl Scouting in Rappahannock County have enjoyed the experience. They have learned not only the skills of camping and making things with their hands, but the joys of community service and most importantly the character traits of friendliness, helpfulness, responsibility and integrity.
Tomorrow’s women need the help of today’s women if they are to become the kind of citizens we need. It would be a fine thing if all the girls in Rappahannock Coupty who want to be in Girl Scouts could participate.
Anyone interested in helping either as a leader or as an assistant to the leaders should call Valerie Jones at 937-4029.
