They have had aý voice in the.day's activities, the democratic, way, and havelearned to'dgive in gracefully to the majority.

Thirty..one girls. from., Wilmette spent on an. average:of two weeks apiece at five established Girl Scout camps. There were 21 girls'at Camp Shaginappi,.near Fond du Lac, Wis.; three girls at.Camp Merri Wood, 'at Doster, Mich.;' two girls at Timber Trail near ýMgnising, Mich.; three girls at Potawatomie Camp at Elk- horn, Wis.;-, and two at- Camp Hickory Hill at Edgerton, Wis: in addition to this there were 15 girls who went to our own troop cap, onduced by Mrs. Erest. Warner, the leader of Troop 9. From ail yôur scribe can gather both from the girls and the leaders, it was a huge success. The beautiful log cabin so generously loaried us by Mr. David Nelson, proved to be very weil adapted to the uses to which it was put. The girls slept on the porches except when.it rain- ed, swam in Green Bay ini front of the cabiri, and roamed the woods of the island. There was an ,active pro- gram comparable to that of any es- tablished camp. There were nature hikes, exploration hikes, star' gazing,, handicraft of varlous ktuLts, first ald, swimming, rhythms, smnging, drama- tizations of many kincis and gamnes. There was a campfire every -night, outdoors when possible and indoors when it was cold or damp. The girls planned and carrîed out ai Scout's Own for each of the two Sun- days that they were there. The thanks of everyone connected with Scouting goes to the splendid staff which sornehow~ managed to pro- duce good, meals and enforce re$t Mrs. Arnold White,. the former Miss Marion Morse, will again be -the ýlocat direct-or' of IheWil- .mette Girl Scout activities. tô go we would be glad of volunteers. Arrangements have been made to have reserved seats for our girls (if they get there in good time) and we hope this year that everyone will be prompt and orderly.
