Girl Scouts
Celebrating Their
49th Anniversary
By Jo Chambers
This is the forty-ninth anni
versary of Girl Scouting. It start
ed Sunday, March 12 with all the
Girl Scouts and Brownies wearing
their uniforms to church and all
those in the same church sitting
together.
Scouting was started over in
England by Sir Baden-Powell. He
was asked to start an organiza
tion for boys following the same
training he had given his soldiers
in the army. He held an experi
mental camp for boys and during
this time he wrote a book “Scout
ing for Boys”. Many girls read
this book also and at the first
Boy Scouts Rally held in 1909
an uninvited party of self-styled
Girl Scouts marched in behind
the 11,000 boys. Their enthusiasm
was such that Baden-Powell yield
ed to their entreties for recogni
tion and within a few weeks pub
lished "Scheme for Girl Scouts”
and invited his sister Agnes Bad
en-Powell to become president.
On March 12, 1912, Juliette Gor
don Low held the first Girl Guides
meeting in Savannah, Ga. They
were soon dressed in homemade
uniforms, later their name was
changed to Girl Scouts. This is
how Juliettee Low came to be
known as the founder of Girl
Scouting in America.
Girl scouting was starting in
Nome in 1945 by Mrs. Booker and
Mrs. H. Dunbar. Mrs. Dell Munzie
was the first leader. We have had
several women as the heads of
Girl Scouting in Nome because we
started out as lone troop. Our
last head was Mrs. Harwood until,
1960, when we became part of the
Northwest District Council.
The Senior Scouts have had two
main projects this year, the first
was to raise enough money to
outfit the entire troop with new
style uniforms. We have succeed
ed in doing this with several
money making projects. Our sec
ond is to construct a booth out at
the airport and one in town. We
will meet the tourists as they
come off the plane. We will help
them with their baggage and give
them any information they want
to know about Nome or Alaska.
We will give all the female pas
sengers lapel nosegays made of
wild flowers. We will ride with
them on the bus into town ex
plaining anything they want to
know. The booth in town will
give them any information on the
town they want. The booths will
enable the scout to develop in
terest in the community and their
citizenship as a whole. It will
enable us to meet people from
other countries and hope she is
spreading good will.
The Senior Scout leader this
year is Mrs. Roy Conklin and she
has been doing a very good job.
METHODIST UNIVERSITY
