Meetings are held once a week after school at which time the girls receive instruction about Scout laws and learn to pass the tenderfoot tests. ln addition to deriving much pleasure from the social side of the club, the girls try to be helpful and useful citizens by aiding people Who are needy and unfortunate. just before Christmas they were very busy making scrapbooks which were delivered on Christmas Day to the little children in the Orthopedic Hospital, who were very happy to receive them.
