The Auziliary of the American Legion is sponsoring the Girl Scout movement in Jewell, and has appointed a Troop Committee to supervise this work.   A Troop Captain and Lieutenants have been appointed who will have direct charge of the Troop's activities.   All girls between the ages of 12 and 18 will be eligible to join, residing either in Jewell or comunity.

     A meeting of all girls interested in becoming a Girl Scout will be called shortly and a notice will be published in next week's Record.

     The Girl Scout movement developed from the Boy Scout and Girl Guide organizations, which were initiated in England by Lord Baden Powell.   It was brought in this country by Juliette Low in 1912, when she formed a Girl Scout troop at her home in Savannah, Georgia, and adapted the program in the needs of American girls.   That group of Savannah girls was the first unit of a national organization that today numbers among its members more than 400,000 girls and leaders.

     The ideals and objectives of Girl scouting are similar to those desired by all organizations in the modern community which have to do with girls and boys - among them the Home, the Church and the School; to provide each Girl Scout with opportunities for wholesome recreation and the discovery of hobbies that may be of lifeling interest to her; to help each girl develop as an individual, and learn to get along with people; to give each girl opportunity and the desire to be of service to others, and to develop qualities that will make her a good citizen in a changing society; to help each girl acquire satisfactory ideals and high standards of behavior.

     The work of Girl Scouting throughout the United States is supervised and coordinated by a national organization known as Girl Scouts Inc..   Each local community is represented in the national organization by the National Council located at West 19th Street, New York, N. Y.

     The Troop Committee in charge of this new Troop in Jewell in very anxious to have every girl in Jewell or community who is eligible, meet with the Committee as soon as a date is set, to find out more in particular about the Girl Scouts.

     Girls between ages of 12 and 19 who wish to register as Girl Scouts, will meet at the home of Mrs. Julia Gath at 7:00 o'clock in the evening of Friday, March 24th.

     A registration fee of $1.00 will be required at this time, so we can send in our registrations to the national office and receive our Charter and other necessary Instruction books as soon as possible.Julia Gath, Captain Girl Scout Troop.

      Mr. Armstrong, the watermelon man at Ames, invited the Jewell Girl Scouts down to his stand for a feed.   Although the girls did not consume as many slices as did the Boy Scouts, they made the pile dimish considerably.

     The girl scout meeting will be at the Scout Leader's home, Tuesday, October third.   The meeting will come to order at 7:30.   Plans will be made for some interesting activities - Breta Gath, Scribe

     Mrs. H. T.Gath, captain of the Girl Scouts, Mrs. Albert Jacobson and Mrs. I. K. Espe attended a conference of Girl Scout leaders.   It was held in the Popelian room at Younkers tea room in Des Moines.   They had an interesting time.

     The Girl Scouts have a new Monicker o- Handywoman.   We are laboring over a piece of needlepoint.   Between getting it out of shape and losing patience and temper, we are coming along fine.   Mrs. K. E. McDaniel is in charge of this department.

     In addition to the handicraft deopartment, we have a new library.   It is a miniature, but is up-to-date, with exchanging the bill of fare.   Patsy Rushing is the efficient librarian.   We even have a fine of two cents per week overdue. - Brata Gath, Scribe
