NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 1930. GIRL SCOUT CAMP | FILLED FOR YEAR Registrations for Summer Gom-[ Dlete Enrollment Fun at Camp Sprague, the Girl | 8cout camp, is described in a letter | received from there today by *1 Hike,” the camp correspondent. The camp is located on the shores of Job's pond near Portland. The letter | 15 as follow: | “The capacity of camp registration | has been reached for the entire | summer and unless some scouts are | finally not able to come we will not be able to accommodate any more scouts this summer. This is the first | vear that this has happened and some scouts who registered for one | week thinking that they might stay | on two will be disappointed. | “Tuesday was hike day and the camp divided into small groups ac- cording to their encampment and hiked to different places in the near vicinity. They carried nosebag lunches and spent the day in fields stopping for a rest hour along the | way. All of the campers returned for the general swim in the afternoon “In swimming this year there are four classes, ducklings, sea gulls, swans, and life savers. The ducklings are those girls who cannot swim and must stay inside the crib. The sea | gulls are girls who know how to swim but not well and go out to the raft only under very close patrolling. The swans are good swimmers who can also pass a diving test. The life savers are those scouts who have passed their junior life saving test This week there are more sea gull than any other class, but the scouts are working hard on their diving and probably will be swans before they go home “There have been two changes in | the counsellors at camp. Miss Cath- erine Blood of New Rochelle is the nature counsellor and also super- vises Kamp Kaprers in the dining | room. Miss Blood is a graduate of Sargent's School of Gymnastics in Boston and of Boston university. She has also taken a camp counsel- lor's course at Camp Edith Macy | this June. “Miss Frances Robertson of West- port is also a counsellor and is in charge of crafts and stoutcraft. Miss Robertson has bern a camper at Camp Sprague and is now a student at University of Chicago. | “The pioneer encampment has named itself ‘Romany.’ These scouts cook their breakfast and suppers on a field kitchen set up in their en- | campment, and are preparing to ro on a three day field trip next Tues- | day. Yesterday being hike day they cooked their own dinner in their en- campment and invited some of the staff members who did not go off on a hike to be their guests. “The first week of camp has been most successful and is prophetic of a good camp seacon at Camp Sprague unday there was quite a bit of excitement in camp during the swimming period. First one girl dis- obeying the orders of the swimming counsellor, Miss Sullivan, not to step outside the crib rope, got beyond her | depth. There was no outcry for help hut Miss Sullivan's observation was keen enough to see the expression of fear on the girl's face and she| rushed into the water and pulled | the scout to shore. A few minutes later Miss Sullivan noticed two more scouts in the water where they should not have been. She repri- manded them and sent them out on | shore. It was not long before she noticed the same two scouts not far from shore bobbing up and down but making no outcry. Again she noticed the expression of fear on their faces and daghed into the water and pull- ed the two girls at once to a nearby boat. | “In both cases the scouts made no | outery and spectators on the beach, | parents who were visiting, thought the girls were only fooling in the | water. It was Miss Sullivan's keen observation during swimming period that prevented a serious accident Miss Sullivan is very strict about obedience in the water during swim- | ming and allows no holding on to each other .or no foolishness fn ducking during swimming periods. The occurrences have been real ex- amples to the other scouts.” Gov.
