The postcard above is "A Girl Scout Camp Post Card." It was mailed from Bovey, Minnesota in 1947 with the following message:
Only a few of the songs in the songbook look familiar. One that I still remember is Make New Friends:
Boy am I having a lot of fun! I'll bet I gained at least 7 pounds. They feed you a lot. It's raining now though.Some more of my Girl Scout things are in the photo below. The mess kit and utensil set got a lot of extra use on later camping trips. The belt is from my original fifth grade Girl Scout uniform. It was way too long then. I never shortened it, so it is the right size now.
Only a few of the songs in the songbook look familiar. One that I still remember is Make New Friends:
Make new friends, but keep the old.
One is silver and the other gold.

You sound like my sister, she has kept so many things from her childhood. We never had the chance to join the Girl Scouts.
ReplyDeleteGreat postcard and I love your carefully preserved girl scout accessories. They're beautiful and absolutely classic.
ReplyDeleteHurray, more girl scout things! I still have my sash, everything else is gone.
ReplyDeleteThat is classic. I wish I had mine still or even some of my kiddos. You have a wonderful collection.
