Seward Girl Scouts are very
busy this month making plans
lor International Girl Scout
month in February. All troops
are practicing folk dances from
foreign countries under train
ing of Kay Johnson. Each troop
chooses a country to study and
will present a dance traditional
to that country.
In addition to the special stu
dies, Girl Scouts have to keep
up their regular work.
The nine-year-old Brownies
are beginning study of their re
quirements lor Tenderfoot sta
tus. i.ie nine year olds are now
growing on ten, when they
can become real Girl Scouts,
but must begin as Tenderfoot
scouts. Mrs. Eleanor Painter is
leader ot this group.
Troop No. 1, with Mrs. Wilma
Hendricks as leader, is perform
ing community service. They
collect books and magazines to
be used at the Sanatorium.
Last week, these girls had a
slumber party on Saturday night
at the home of one of their troop
members. They had breakfast
together on Sunday, then all
went to church.
Troop 2 is doing leather work.
At present they are making
leather belts. Miss Peggy Dol
liver and Mrs. vTc Witherup
are leaders of this troop.
Troop No .3, Mrs. Ruth Cooper
leader, invested two new mem
bers this month, Sandra Sainson
and Judith Riker. Two others
are working for their Second
Class badges.
The Girl Scout Leaders Club
had their regular monthly meet
ing in the Troop House last Mon
day. Mrs. J. B. Diosher and
Mrs. Kay Johnson were guest
speakers.
The club worked on prepara
tions of plans for International
Month, and Katherine Garrison
taught them leather lacing. This
club is just what the name im
plies, an association of Girl
Scout leaders, who are interest
ed enough in the work to group
together and study their work.
