Tradition during our troop campout is initiation into the ‘‘Cow Club”’. Four girls and two leaders were put through the club with the help of ‘‘Bossie’’ and Elsie’’. We also put them through the ‘‘Ooga Booga Boo Club.”” This club brought many screams and much laughter from each girl. We would like to thank Diane Rice for going along for the third year. Also Sue Gantz, June Edwards and Linda Yourgivich for driv- ing us to and from camp. Our Court of Awards was held May 23 at the home of our leader, Sharon Marley.
