GIRL SCOUTS AGAIN
TRAIL HUNTERS
This Saturday, May 24, the Girl
Scouts of Nome will again go
trail-hunting, but this time the
shoe will be on the other foot.
Last Saturday Group No. 2 led
by June followed the tticky trail
laid by Group No. 1, headed by
Dorothea. This Saturday Group
No. 2 have their chance to befud
dle Group No. 1, and they promise
to get ample revenge for the
merry chase they were led.
The starting point of the trail
will be disclosed in the form of a
clue w'hich, if Group No. 1 can't
decipher, they’ll never get on the
trail!
The Scouts all hope for good
weather Saturday, because the
end of the trail promises some- j
thing special in the way of out
door refreshment.
