Avis I:+'f'll'l' not on pic-luri-. In T936 the local American Legion Auxiliary decided to sponsor Girl Scouts ot America in Oakes, and Mrs. A. H. Denning organized two troops. Under the leadership ot Ethel Karpen, sixteen girls were organized as Troop 2. Ot the original sixteen, Betty Lou Hoar, Donna Jacobchick, Norma Jean Enger, Bernice Carlson, Bertha Carlson and Frances Mueller are still members ot the troop. Others in the group at the present time are Patty Hample, Doreen Dethltson, Avis Beeler, and Marion Corbit. Until this year the group followed the scouting manual and worked tor badges. As a result Betty Lou Hoar, Bernice Carlson, and Patty Homple are tirst class scouts. Most ot the other girls are second class scouts, and hope to be able to meet the requirements .tor ttrst class scouts by the end of the year. For the past three years the troops have been successful in raising enough money to pay their expenses at Camp Wakpala. Most ot this money was earned by selling Christmas cards and official girl scout cookies. This year the group is registered as Senior Girl Scouts. This means that the mem- bers are engaging in a different program from other years, a program that is more adapted to an older group. The stress is on personality, and the purpose is to teach the girls how to get along better with other people and to be more selt-reliant. Each girl has her turn as leader, selecting the subiect matter in which she is particularly inter- ested. To these girls scouting is a combination of work and play. They have parties at which they learn new games and new songs. They believe they can have fun and learn at the same time. Miss Eleanor Lewis is director ot the group. Scouting is Fun T341
