THE DALLAS POST, MARCH 11, 1971
Ingathering draws capacity crowd
by Nadine Amanullah
Who is today’s Girl Scout and
where is she going?
She is beginning a fabled
voyage through life—a unique
one-time-only trip in which only
she will ever know all the stops
and the eventual destination.
She chooses Girl Scouting at one
point during her journey and
what she learns or doesn’t learn
is an indelible part of her life
thereafter.
Today’s Girl Scout is aware.
Her eyes are open not only to
the beauty of her environment
but also to the problems of
pollution. She learns the
meaning of friendship, at home,
at school, and in the larger
world of nations.
Scouting is not, cannot, and
should never become a narrow-
ing of a girl’s outlook but always
a widening, a growing, a
sharing, and a being part of
life.
We are celebrating Girl Scout
Week with a tribute to our own
girls of the Back Mountain area,
610 strong in 30 troops with 126
registered adults serving as
advisors. This neighborhood is
the largest in the Penn’s Woods
Girl Scout Council.
The Juliette Low In-
Gathering held Saturday night
at the Dallas Junior High School
brought the scouts in our neigh-
borhood together with their
parents for an evening of fun.
With a nautical theme, the S.S.
Juliette Low In-Gathering set
sail for many ports of call, and
each troop contributed to the
success of the evening.

for In-Gathering. As part of
their community - service each
year, the girls of Troop 462 join
with the senior and junior
troops, also sponsored by the
Lehman Fire Company to
prepare a booth at the firemen’s
auction. Last year the girls
made crafts and brought white
elephants from home, and their
booth earned $82. The girls were
especially proud since the fire-
men were able to pay for the
new fire truck in only two years.

Intra-troop Cooperation
Brownie Troop 623 meets in
the Harveys Lake area under
leader Rachel Perrego and co-
leaders Marsha Crispell and
Joyce Williams.
Every Scout attending In-
Gathering will long remember
the presentation of “Let There
Be Peace on Earth’ by Troops
623 and 638. This was an
example of cooperation at its
finest, with JoAnn Davidson’s
troop mothers working with
Mrs. Perrego’s troop mothers to
create costumes representing
11 countries.
Junior Troop 636 has a
membership of 27 girls and is
led by Mrs. Hans Dreher. Last
October the girls planned an all-
day hike at Ricketts Glen State
Park, and when the Indian
summer weather turned to
snow and sleet the hardy scouts
stayed all day building fires,
laying and following trails and
playing games.
Troop Citation—G.S. Lore
Brownie Troop 637 looks
forward to Thanksgiving not
only for the turkey and the
pumpkin pies but because of its
troop birthday party. A mother
bakes a special cake using the
Brownie hat, tie, and pin as
decorations on the cake.
For In-Gathering the troop
chose to represent Holland and
they were as pretty as spring in
their white caps and aprons
(made by the girls) as they
danced around live tulips.
Troop Citation—
Community Service
The 29 Juniors of Harveys
Lake Troop 638 have chosen to
better their community in
several ways. Perhaps the most
unusual is their continuing
project on pollution. In
January, eight girls rode in four
toboggans pulled by four snow-
mobiles in an anti-pollution

The Mexican Hat Dance was
the presentation of Troop 645 at
In-Gathering. The girls wore
long skirts, peasant blouses,
and shawls and the ‘‘boys’’ wore
trousers, straw hats, ponchos
and curly mustaches.
Mrs. Robert Cartier, Mrs.
Joseph Canfield, and Mrs.
Thomas Newman are proud of
the excellent, almost perfect,
attendance record of their troop
and their parent participation.
A large number of parents
always attend every event in
which the girls participate.
Citation—Citizenship
Cadette Troop 648 of Noxen
has for six years sponsored a
Memorial Day Parade and
program to honor the war
veterans as part of their chal-
lenge for active citizenship.
Under the direction of leaders
Nellie Scouton and Betty Smith
the program was such a success
that the residents of Noxen
asked the scouts to repeat their
community services and last
year, numerous marching
units, fire trucks and floats
joined the parade.
Mrs. James McClain, leader,
and Lois Frye, co-leader, have a
very busy troop of 20 Brownies.
In October, Troop 654 attended
Brownie Play Day at the
Country Club and participated
in a ‘‘Changing Season’, hike.
The girls are much interested
in Indian lore. For In-Gathering
they presented an Indian dance
and were accompanied by
Sarova Amanullah, eight years °
old. They wore beaded felt
headbands, vests and Indian
jewelry. Brownie Troop
641 wore embroidered head-
bands and necklaces they had
made themselves. The “sister
troops’ 654 and 641 have at-
tended ice skating parties and
the Brownie story hour together
and both made woodland
candleholders for Thanksgiving.
. The girls and leaders of Troop
655, Lehman, are especially
proud of the fact that they are
the only complete troop of First
Class Scouts in our Council, The

leader is Florence Sherwood
and co-leader is Marie
Carkhuff. Every girl is a
talented singer and for In-
Gathering they led the girls in
‘‘Make New Friends’’ and
“Rosen Fra Fun,” a Danish folk
song, and then ‘Taps’ at the
program’s end.
Halloween meant a special
trip to Eggleston’s in Vernon,
Pa., for Brownie Troop 650 to
watch the making of apple
cider. The day was drizzly so
the girls couldn’t watch the men
pick apples but they saw
everything else from the crate
to the bottle and took home
fresh cider for their Halloween
party. These Brownies turned in
an outstanding performance as
circus troupers at the In-
Gathering.
Much praise was given Troop
639’s presentation of ‘Hava
Nagila’ in Hebrew and English
and the girls say they owe it all
to June Hauser and Rita Singer.
Rita, a Wilkes College student,
spent two days working with the
girls. Troop leaders are Sue
Salansky and Delores Dennis.

Poland was represented by
Mrs. Walter Robert’s Troop 715.
These 21 girls wore white
aprons banded with stripes of
red, blue, and green. The catchy
dance made half the audience
want to get up and join the fun.
Another catchy tune was
performed by Troop 624 and
Troop 646—the stick song of
New Zealand. They wore slacks
and white blouses and click,

A new troop was formed last
