However, it was not until 1936 that ct Girl Scout troop could be realized. ln lanuary of that year a number of girls began work under the leadership of Miss Alice Leakey. and in the following March the Westfield Girl- Scout Troop was registered at National Headquarters in New York. The original members of the troop were Carolyn Barker, Ruth Alice Carey, Ruth Clark, lean Daniel, Frances Furnas, Denzle Hinshaw, Suzanne Iohnson, Hilda Lease. Lorean Litton. Vera McClafflin, Vivian Moon, Iune Moore, Margaret Ortwein. Rosetta Todd, and Phyllis Ann Willey. Working with Miss Leakey and the troop was an Adult Committee, the lol- lowing being members: Mrs. Fed Lashbrook, Mrs. R. E Willey. Mrs. A. I. Garrity, Mrs. Orris Iohn- son. and Mrs. Wyman Moon. During the first summer. meetings were held every two weeks at which times hikes were taken and meals were cooked out-of-doors. The troop did not go to camp that year, but work was begun for a camp during the following summer. Cookie Days, candy and bake sales. ice cream socials, and the selling of Christmas cards helped to establish this camp fund. The tirst Troop Camp was held in 1937 at Newcastle, for one week, with an enrollment of thirteen campers, three sponsors. and two cooks. A Troop Camp was again held in 1938, but for ten days. and with an increased enrollment ot seventeen campers, five sponsors, and one cook. This camp was also visited by an official carnp visitor. The Hamilton County Girl Scout Leaders' Association was established in 1938 for the purpose of standardizing requirements, sponsoring the County Court of Awards, and promoting coopera- tion of county troops. Four County Courts of Awards are held annually under the association's constitution. The Westfield Girl Scout Troop was hostess to all other county troops in the Decom- ber Court of Awards. The troop attended the County Girl Scout Play Day at Forest Park in October of 1938. and placed third in inter-troop contests. In the following November, the troop participated in the State Scout Day Parade at Bloomington, sponsored by Indiana University and also saw the Indiana- Kansas State football game. A bigger and better camp is now being prepared tor this summer by the girls of the troop.
