Title
Girl Scouting in 1975 (1975)
Description
A handwritten account of the structure of girl scouting in 1975 by Marie Lefebvre of Cadette Girl Scout Troop 158.
Transcription:
Girl Scouting in 1975 is an activity that you can begin in first grade and never end.
The first step in Girl Scouting begins with brownies. You enter this organisation which contains both artistic and recreational games so that you can enjoy yourself. No badges are required but you do have mottos and some rules to follow in order to always act like a true brownie in every way.
The second step, after three years of brownies, is becoming a junior Girl Scout. In Junior scouting you have a number of badges to do. You don't have to do any badges but to enjoy the best part of scouting you should do a few/ Your involvement in Scouts (camping, parades, badges, ect.) goes towards your record in Cadettes, and continues right up with you.
At the age of twelve you become a cadette. In these two years you can earn badges or challenges. Badges help both Junior and Cadettes to understand more about caring for your home, animals, and many other topics in different ways. While challenges help you to be prepared. These challenges put you in the situations that they involve. So in an emergency you don't lose your head or panick.
