I o an eight-year-old child, the world can be as small and secure as her mother's arms or as limitless and mysterious as the heavens. For more than 40 years, the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. has been helping girls to find secure and happy places in an often-frightening world. As Scouts, the youngsters discover they are part of a world- -wide movement comprising millions of girls in 46 nations, all sharing common, constructive aims and principles. Some idea of the scope of Scouting in the United States alone recently dawned on a group of Brownies Troop 28 of Belmar, N J. who went to New York City to see the Girl Scouts' new national headquarters build ing. For most of the youngsters, it was their first visit to New York as well all in all, a day that enlarged their horizons considerably! Sponsored by the Young Women's Circle of the First Methodist Church in Belmar, the troop had been meeting in the Methodist Fellowship Hall. But now the 13-story structure of shiny steel, glass, and aluminum dazzled their imaginations, especially when the girls learned it was "theirs." As they toured the building, the children saw the birthplace of such familiar Brownie activities as arts and crafts and cooking, and met the people responsible for various Scout programs. In one room, they watched with awe the "mechanical brains" that keep tab on America's more than two million Girl Scouts. Said one tired moppet as she put on her beanie for the ride home: "It's wonderful to be a Girl Scout!"
