The Statesman. Sal in. Oregon, Friday; Soplombot t3. ISOI Aid from Community Chest Girl Scouts Issue Appeal IN Sponsoring Cr.up "If we had more leaden we could helD more firlx through scout ing, but it is very difficult to find women to lead and groups who will sponsor the girls," declares Dorothy Wilson, field director of the San tiam area local Girl Scout council. ', ' ' "We are not in conflict with other local agencies that serve in the interest of girls for we all have the same problem, and we can't help all of the girls who want to join either the Girl Scouts or the Camp Fire Girls." Girl Scouts in Salem have been ori(anized only six years and to tal 31 troops with 450 girls taking part. This year the organization is asking the Community Chest to aid with $3,250 to carry on the work. The girls are aiding by running errands and by sorting literature for the campaign. Girl' Scouts may Joint organiza tion as Brownies, age of 7 to 10, . or as Intermediate Scouts, from 10 to 14. Senior .groups are us ually made up of Intermediates that have passed age of 14. Girls may earn proficiency ba dges in 1 1 program fields by carry in? out ten different activities re Iz'mg to the field. In Salem it is the custom of the troops to visit other Girl Scout troops in the area in order to be come better acquainted. Gather ings have also included the troop at the state school for the- blind where the young girls take a great Interest in both the scouting and the management of the troop. Practice Outdoor Methods During the summer the girls have an opportunity to practice the outdoor methods they have been studying all winter by attending the Girl Scout "camp at Smith cpeek, in the Silver Creek area. Fifty Girls attended the camp as gi"sts of sponsors this summer. Salem girls made their first ven ture in day camping this summer through the cooperation of the YWCA, which loaned YW Camp Crestwood. The day camp is de deigned for girls who are too young to spend nights away from home, or those who do not have the time to stay at the regular camp. The program was laid out on a three day a week basis for two weeks, with girls returned to their homes each night. Purpose was to give the girls an opportunity to do out door cooking and study nature as well as enjoy the fresh air.,The camp was staffed by volunteers. Help Needy Family The general program of the Girl Scouts is to develop friendship and skills and show the workings of the community as the workings of democracy. One groupcrf-Salem Brownies has chosen to help a needy family by raising funds for food and clothing. The Brow nies were a bit small for the job, but the task was done with the id of parents. Other problems ncise in other age groups. Inter mediate and senior scouts are taught good grooming, and the problems of overcoming the com plexities of meeting boys are dis cussed. Tor an added project they invite a group of boys to join them for dancing or games. "Without the funds received from the Community Chest we w ould be - unable to reach the girls who wish to belong to scout ing. It really means better cit izens and a better community and it depends upon giving and giv ing enough," said Miss Wilson. Mrs. Lois Albin Succumbs at V Salem Home Mrs. Lois Marjorie!
