TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Monday. February 27, 1956
Committee Makes
First Plans For
Scout Day Camp
Members of the Medford Girl
Scout day camp committee met
recently to plan for the annual
day camping in June. Mrs.
Maurice Ritchey is day camp
chairman, and on her commit
tee are Mrs.. Lynn Hayes, Med
ford, camp director"; Mrs. Ben
Darras and Mrs. Raleigh Greene,
both Central Point, and Mrs. Wil
liam Centers, Medford.
Last year there was a severe
shortage of camp assistants, and
the committee urges that mothers
of all Girl Scouts and non-scouts
who attend day camp seriously
consider their availability to help
at camp. Any woman who can
give time . is asked to call the
scout- office, 2-5912, or Mrs.
Ritchey, 2-8474. , .
About 600 girls attended day
camp in the area last year, and
about 240 attended the Medford
day camp. According to nation
al Girl Scout day camp stand
ards, there must be one adult
to every eight girls. According
to Mrs. Ritchey, there can be no
registrations taken at the camp
site if there are not more than
enough adults registered in pro
portion to advance registrations
of girls.
Mrs. Ritchey states that the
women need not be skilled camp
ers, because training sessions
will be held in Medford April
26 and May 24 to train women
in day camp activities and skills.
The day camp theme this year
will be "Americana" in order to
increase each girls' knowledge
of her native land.
