The Adult Association of Sew
ard Girl Scouts held their reg
ular meeting Monday, Nov. 23,
in the Troop House.
Among other things the Na

In the registrar’s report given

Curry, training chairman, re

discussing plans for Christmas
Season, also what to do for Com
munity Service. Lately they
have been practicing spatter
painting which can be put to
use in making Christmas cards,
place mats, pictures, etc.
Troop 3 is coming along fine
with square dancing with the
help of Caryl Weber. They have
finished their Community Serv
ice work and are now laying
plans for Christmas activities.
Numerous ideas were discussed,
such as making presents for their
homes, a nice big Christmas
party with gift exchange for
just themselves, and they want
a Santa Claus to give out the
gifts (which they will have ac
cording to Mrs. Curry, the lead
er.) Saturday before Christmas
(weather permitting) they will
meet at the troop house with
nose bag lunches, from where
they will hike out a short way
and gather greens to be used in
decorating the troop house.
GIRL SCOUT TROOPS
Troop 1 has been busy doing
textile painting. I see some nice
scarfs with Alaskan designs in
the Troop House. They also are
formulating their C h r i s t m a s
plans. In the absence of their
leader, Mrs. Katheryn Ling,
who is confined to her home
with a back injury, Mrs. Hen
dricks is helping out.
Troop 2 at their regular meet
ing tliis week held Investiture
Ceremony for new members
Carol Simiard and Jacky Stew
art. For Thanksgiving the troop
made favors for the patients’
trays and nurses’ table at the
local hospital. They also are
working on their Christmas sea
son activities.
Troop 4 among other interest
ing things, is learning the Maori
Stick Game. This is a game of
skill in which two girls tap, clap,
drum, flip and throw sticks in
time to a rhythmic chant. A few
days before Christmas they plan
to go out and fall the Christmas
tree that will be used in the
Troop House, then make the dec
orations to trim it. At their last
meeting the two patrols elected
new leaders and assistants. The
Shasta Daisy Patrol elected as
their leader Jane Phillips, while
the Fawns elected Carolyn Good
will.
There is a new troop in the
group. These are all girls that
have two to three years of
Brownie training and some were
in an Intermediate troop for a
short time. Now after two years
of not being affiliated in any
way with Scouting, they have
got together with their former
leader Mrs. Hendrickson and
formed a new troop. They are
studying hard on their Tender
foot Requirements and in a short
time will be invested. The girls
have plans for carolling during
the holidays and of course a
Christmas party. Later they
plan to have several out of door
parties and do some over night
camping.
All the troops under the guid
ance of the Adult Program Com
mittee will go carolling during
the holidays. The San and Hos
pital and possibly around the
community Christmas tree will
be some of the places they will
carol.
Sunday, December 7. The first
