Life in the Girl Scouts
This gallery of items displays photographs from the early 1900s of the life of girls in the Girl Scouts. The activities the grils are engaged in, as we can see from the photos, include sewing, caring for patients, studying a model of the globe, and making art projects. The range of activities show that the Girl Scouts during this period had already generated opportunities for girls to tap into different aspects of social life and enjoy the benefits of learning both science and arts. In addition, there is also a picture that shows the image of a girl wearing uniform, a sign of the disciplined life in the Girl Scout. The girl in the photograph displays a bright sense of confidence in her facial expression.
This is a "Girl Scouts of America" film produced in the year of 1951 titled "LET'S GO TROOP CAMPING". It is a neat 20-minute video that shows a camping day of the Girl Scouts. Take some time to watch it and you will get a more immersive sense of what life used to be like in the Girl Scouts in the mid twentieth century.
