ALASKAN GIRL SCOUTS JOIN CLEBRATEON OF GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY
By Mary Halm
Some 3 1/2 million girls and
adults, more than 1,100 of which
are from central and northern
Alaska, are celebrating the
Golden Anniversary ot Girl
Scouting in the United States,
March 11-17.
Today the arm of Girl Scouting
extends all the way from Nome
to New York and to 51 separate
countries all linked by the common
creed: “On my honor, I will try:
To do my duty to God and my
country, to help other people at all
times, to obey the Girl Scout Laws.”
In demonstrating the force of Girl
Scouting in Alaska alone, Mrs. Peg
gy Hoogerwerf, Fairbanks president
of the Farthest North Girl Scout
Council, stated that there are about
880 girls and 254 adylts in the coun
cil at the present time and a total
of 70 separate troops.
Founder of Girl Scouting, Juli
ette Low, met with 12 girls on
March 12, 1912, in Savannah, Geor
gia. and established the first troop.
She brought from England the prin
ciples of Scouting as set forth by
Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the
Scouting movement, and adapted
them to the needs of girls in the
United States.
Great Expansion
Since 1912, almost 18!£ million
girls, women and men have be
longed to the Girl Scouts. They
carry on their program in every
state of the Union, in its possessions
and in 49 other countries where
American families live.
“The basic purpose of Girl Scout
ing has always been to inspire girls
with the highest ideals of character,
conduct, patriotism, and service

man, stated that to her, ‘‘the most
outstanding development in Girl
Scouting in Alaska, besides the
craft projects and basic knowledge
of camping and Alaskan lore, is the
fact that yearly we proudly are
represented by talented Alaskan
Girl Scouts who are the best am
bassadors possible to other states
in the Union where they socialize
and work with girls world -wide/L
j This year Alaska will have rep
resentatives at the Arts and Crafts
Conference at the University of
Oregon, and at the National Girl
Scout Roundup at Button Bay, Ver- !

cookie sales and Christmas “wraps.” i

matics, music and dancing, com
munity life, international friend
ship, nature, out-of-doors, sports
and games, agriculture, health and
safety, and homcmaking.
Scouting as a symbol of character
and integrity has been brought out
by one national leader. Mrs. lone
E. Hunt, who stated: "My husband
is a juvenile judge—has been for
28 years—and in all that time has
never had a girl or boy who were
ever Scouts come before him as a
juvenile delinquent. I believe this
is significant."
