Never fear the Girl Scouts are still here! Through wars and years of national unrest, this shining example of womanhood remains ever present. Yes, that illustrious institution which is as sacred as Mom and apple pie is represented in our community
Girl Scouting offers girls of all ages opportunities to grow into mature, responsible individuals and to form definite ideas about their life, home, and community. There are a number of troops in our community, all administering to the needs of girls.
One such troop is Cadette Troop No. 1295, which is led by Mrs. Vernon Wright. The Cadettes are working on a number of projects. One project, besides their annual Girl Scout Cookie Sale, is their trip to Mexico in 1972. The girls are trying to earn money for this trip by doing everything from domestic work to walking dogs. The girls’ are also planning to visit Six Flags over Mid-America this summer. If you would like to receive some trustworthy and honest service, just contact Mrs. Vernon Wright, phone: 542-1534, Cadette Troop No. 1295.
