reported on the recent National
Convention of the Girl Scouts of the
U.S.A. in Detroit. At that convention
the Girl Scout Promise was revised
to simplify lahguange for younger

-The theme of the evening was
“Reach Wider Still” and as part of
the entertainment, the whole group
had fun watching a 1918 film. This
was the first motion picture made
by a non-profit organization to
describe early Girl Scout activity. It
illustrated how far Girl Scouts have
come. Then Kim Hogans, the first
little girl registered in the new
Daisy Program in the Council was
introduced. The Daisy Program is
planned for kindergarten age girls
and this year there will be 16 Daisy
Troops.
The evening closed with a Scout’s
Own, written by Virginia Denn,
Program Services Director for the
Council. The symbolism of lighted
candles showed how Juliette Low’s
idea has spread, helping Girl Scout-
ing to “Reach Wider Still.”
