Part 12

Operating under National supervision the Girl Scout Supply Department carries a complete and attractive line of equipment for girls. It is the purpose of this branch to give the Scout her equipment at lowest possible cost. Official equipment is sold to members of Registered Troops on formal presentation by Scout of her voucher signed by her Captain.

Price lists will be furnished upon application and money must be sent with order as the equipment is handled on a strictly cash basis. Owing to the irregularity of the market these prices will change from time to time but a revised price list will be printed every two months until the market is more stable.

Sizes should be given when ordering uniforms; this applies also to hats and belts. Find out from jeweler size of ring needed.

That are likely to be just what you are looking for. The Party Page has a suggestion for a scout entertainment every month. And there are hundreds of hints to help you with your camping, hiking and other scout activities.
