To founder's birthplace
By CHARLOT M. DENMON
Staff Correspondent
Ten Lehman Cadette Girl Scouts and their mothers
are planning a series of projects to raise the necessary
funds for a week’s trip to the National Girl Scout
House in Savannah, Georgia as well as to Patriot’s
Point, S.C., where they will spend three days on the
U.S.S. Yorktown.
Their Cadette Leader, Charlene Cook of Lehman,
planned to take the girls since she assumed leadership
of Troop 706 which meets at Lehman Junior High and
the Lehman Fire Hall.
Mrs. Cook knew that some of the girls would not be
able to personally finance the trip so she set the date
for June of 1986 in order that, as a group, girls and
their parents could work toward raising $325 per girl,
thus making it possible for the 10 members of the
troop to go. All adults who plan to go with the troop
will pay their own way.
Charlene and her committee of mothers have
contacted Girl Scout officials, bus companies and
motel owners in order to plan an organized agenda for
the week’s activities.
The group of 20 girls and adults will leave June 12,
1986, by Martz bus for their destination, stopping first
at Patriot’s Point, S.C. where they will stay on the
Yorktown for three days. While there, Navy officials
will take them on two tours, one to Fort Sumter and a
second to a site not yet decided on Sunday, before the
girls depart for Savannah, Georgia that evening.
When the group arrives in Savannah, they will spend
two days at the Juliette Low House, National Girl
Scout Center, the original Girl Scout House in the
United States. Juliette Low was the founder of Girl
Scouting. While there, they will participate in the U.S.
Heritage Visit and also take part in a Pinning
Ceremony when they will receive the Daisy pin, a pin
given only to those Scouts, who visit the Center.
On Tuesday of that week, the girls will leave
Savannah and travel by their chartered bus to Busch
Gardens, VA where they will stay at a Howard
Johnson’s motel and visit the Gardens. The group will
return from Virginia on Wednesday evening after
Stan M. Shemanski has been
visiting Busch Gardens.
In order to raise the money for the girls to visit
Juliette Low’s birthplace, the girls and the adult
volunteers have planned numerous fundraising
projects, the first a shopping trip to Reading for
August 6.
Those persons wishing to go on the trip may send a
check for $15. and their reservation to Mrs. Charlene
Cook, Box 22, Lehman Center, Lehman, PA 18627 no
later than July 26.
The bus will depart from Lehman-Jackson Elemen-
tary School, Aug. 6, 7:30 a.m., arrive at Reading
Outlet Center at 9:30, where passengers may browse
or shop until 1 p.m. From 1 to 4:30 p.m., the bus will
be at Vanity Fair and from 4:30 to 5 p.m., shoppers
will be able to shop at Danskin. Then all will board the
bus to go to Leiby’s for dinner, where each person will
be responsible for paying for their meal.
The girls will bake Welsh cookies on July 31, to sell
at the Lehman Booster Club’s Flea Market, Aug. 3, at
the Lake-Lehman Senior High School grounds. They
will also sell Girl Scout calendars and household items
at the flea market.
During September, they will sell Christmas wrap,
bows and ribbons and on Sept. 20, the Cadettes will
hold a Girl Scout Dance at Lehman Fire Hall.
In October, they will have a spaghetti dinner and
also sell pumpkins during the Halloween season.
Nothing has been planned for November to-date but on
December 1, they will sponsor a breakfast with Santa
from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.; at the Lehman United
Methodist Church.
Charlene, who was a Brownie Girl Scout Leader for
four years before assuming leadership of the Cadette
Troop, is also Neighborhood Director, working with 21
troops in the Dallas, Lake, Lehman, Sweet Valley and
Noxen area. She visited the Juliette Low birthplace
two years ago and was so impressed by the Girl Scout
Center, she decided it would be a wonderful experi-
ence for Cadette age Girls Scouts. Since she has a
group of only 10 girls, she thought this was a good
time to plan the trip because of the expense involved.
Working with Charlene and the girls are Mary
Hynick, Ruth Jones, Beverly Bunney, Polly James,
Lolly Larkins and Susan Roese, mothers of the girls.
