Girl Guides Chosen for Big Jamboree 1946 or 1947 - Signal honour has been accorded two local Girl Guides, chosen among only seven Canadians to be represented at the International Girl Guide and Girl Scout camp at Harrison, Michigan from August 15 to 29. For their high achievements and qualifications, Velma Martin, 16-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Martin, 220 Victoria Avenue North, and Marion Stevenson, 16, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Stevenson, Aldershot, are the two lucky girls. Velma, company leader of the 12th Company, St. Matthews Church, holds her gold cords. The highest qualifications to be held by a girl guide, gold cords are awarded only to persons with first class badges and a number of other badges. In addition, the holder must have volunteered for other outside work. Velma has worked on the Teens' Canteen Committee. The purpose of the camp is to cement relationships between the guides of Canada and the United States. The girls will be living in tents, and will participate in overnight hikes, outdoor cooking, discussions on Canadian and American methods of operating Guides, camp craft etc. It is the first time since the war that Canadian Guides had gone to the camp. Marion is the patrol leader of the 2nd Aldershot Company and holds her all-round cords. These must be awarded before the gold cords, which will be the next and final step in her "Guide Achievements".
