The first day was spent in making name tags and setting up unit homes which were then named by the girls. While swatting away the bugs. Unit I very decidedly came up with an appropriate name The Mosquitoes. Unit II, sitting in a large circle chose the name, The Horseshoe Ring. Ferocious Unit 111 could be nothing but The Bears.”'The week spent at the camp was one full of activities, songs, games and a little rain now and then. The girls learned to make name tags, lemmy sticks (which was a popular game), god's eyes and pine cone dolls. Some paint ed rocks, carved designs and drew pictures. Everyone learned new songs and games. Each unit cooked out everyday and spent time lashing.Unit I became expert singers and real professionals at playing lemmy sticks. They were the safety unit. Where there was a knife being closed wrong or an ax being held incorrectly, there was a camper from the Mosquitoes who caught the guilts cui prit.Unit II were the nature ex pelts. They took mans hikes and always came back with a frog, horned toad, an old fosil or an interesting rock formation On their second hike, they found a killdeer bird who flapped her wing impressively as if it were broken m order to lure the campers away from her young.Unit III tiad a beautiful unit home w ith lots of sturdy lashing One of the highlights of their camping experience was running into a hull snake who seemed much more afraid of them than they were of him. He took quick refuge under a platform.Thursday evening an All-camp program was held. Dinner was served to over 150 people. Following dinner, the campers filed with a torch to the campfire cir de. About 300 people were present.The main campfire flickered and the four small fires began to blaze. When all fires were gloss mg, the campers sang a variety of Girl Scout songs.
