Girl Scout News

tional Friendship badge by mak
ing detailed maf>s of different
countries or states and decorating
them with sketches, pictures,
stamps and music. Lois’ group
chose California. Wilma’s group
Australia; June’s group Hawaii;
and Kitty’s group Denmark. We
are beginning to wonder how the
Girl Scouts and Girl Guides of
other countries work and play so
we are writing letters to girls that
live'in these foreign places.
Tuesday June and J3unny per

placing the x-ray posters in all the
business houses of Nome. The Girl
Scouts will also serve as messen
gers for the x-ray clinic on next
