Cookies—50,000 Dozen Mean Another Big

Dellwood

Ry ROSEMARY REDDING

IFTY thousand dozen cookies buys three outdoor kitchens, a bridge and provides maintenance for Camp Dellwood. So murmurs many a Girl Scout as she delivers cookies and watches the trefoil clock on English’s Theater creep slowly toward that 50,000 goal. The little girl who knocks on your door with her trefoil wares or the one who will hail you from a cookie booth downtown on Saturday is an enthusiastic saleslady. She sees 1713 orders translated into a rustic oven over which she can do camp cooking. She visions a bridge to replace the one washed away over Dorothy Run. With a little added day dreaming she even sees the beginning of an outdoor bowl at Dellwood. The Community Fund assists the Girl Scouts’ city program but the Scouts must look to the cookie sale to maintain the camp on Big Eagle Creek near Clermont. Last year after sale expenses were paid, approximately $4000 went to the camp for remodeling the kitchen, building one outdoor kitchen and reconditioning an old farm house for troop camping. The outdoor kitchen proved so popular that the Scouts are set on adding three more this year from the proceeds of the cookie sale. The bridge, planned to replace the one destroyed by high waters, will connect the mess hall and unit lodgings. Hiking is one of the favorite sports of the Girl Scouts, but when one is hungry it is a bit hard to walk half a mile upstream to cross for mess. Lumping large in the maintenance fund, too, are the ever-present upkeep on buildings, water and light bills, insurance, etc. Small wonder that you hear everywhere these days: “Please, would you like a dozen cookies, madam?”

# ” ”

HE camp, used the year around by the 1842 Scouts of Indianapolis and 500 adult members, was established in 1926. Dorothy Dell, now Mrs. Paul G. Moffett, purchased the 141 wooded acres. Mrs. Moffett has long been active in Scout work, beginning as a Scout in Troop 22 and later becoming troop leader. The camp site was the old Pugh estate. Just 117 years ago Jesse Pugh brought his Virginia bride here and built a log cabin. The cabin today has been remodeled and stands at the gate entrance to Dellwood. It is called the “Pioneer Cabin.” The old sheep barn has been remodeled and, added to by cookie money, now serves as “Sycamore Lodge,” mess hall. Prior to 1926, the Scouts camped at Ada-Boyd-Holliday Camp on the site of the Blind School. Early camping was done entirely in tents. Today's camp numbers 12 buildings. Many of these are the result of the 13 annual previous cookie sales. The Indianapolis group was the first Girl Scout organization to adopt this method of raising funds and today many of tite Scouting groups throughout the country are using the plan. Proceeds have either built or remodeled the

present office, postoffice, local director's home, hospital, “White House,” dietitian’s home and the three buildings containing rést rooms and showers. The Kiwanis Club gave the library and the Gyro Chalet is a gift of the Gyro Club. The camp is administered by a committee which includes Mrs. Earl E. Moomaw, chairman, and the Mesdames R. O. Jackson, Harry B. Curtis, F. E. Glass, Oliver Greer, Sheldon Sayles and Edward Fillion. ” E 3 »

HE camp courses outline in general the regular Scout pprogram but stress particularly the patrol system, nature lore, hiking, camp fires, dramatics and craftwork. Camping is not seasonal as is generally believed for troop leaders and scouts may be seen sliding on snow-covered hills in the winter, cooking suppers in the early spring or spend-

ing the night at “the White House” any month of

the year. The two most frequented camping periods are the summer period of two weeks and four-day troop camp periods extending over the preceding three weeks. Approximately 600 Scouts camped during the five weeks last year. Two hundred are accommo-

dated at each week of the regular period. A Brownie Camp was held for the first time last year. Campers at the regular.camp pay $7 a week tuition. Troop campers pay a $3 fee. This includes food, shelter, craft supplies, etc. Between 15 or 20 underprivileged Scouts are given an outing each year through the cookie sale proceeds and contributions. Those who co not like cookies can contribute a sum to the Big Sales Committee which applies those funds toward entertaining the underprivileged children. The troop camping period is designed for a threefold purpose. It gives an outing to those children who cannot afford the regular camp fee. Some Scouts find that they can more conveniently ate tend the troop camp than the regular session. This type camping also allows the timid child to become acquainted with camping through the small group. The outdoor kitchens for which the money will be spent this year are used for troop campers. Units during the regular camp period often use the kitchens instead of the mess hall. The one constructed last year is a large screened room with rock oven and tables. Cookie fund money also buys the dishes, individually colored for each troop, and replaces a plate if Betty accidentally drops one. The camp meets the requirements of the national organization and the State Board of Health. It is the favorite of Mrs. Frederick Edy, national commissioner. ® ® 0 COUTING began in Indianapolis in 1917 when Mrs. Anna Marie Ridge founded Troop 1 in Irvington under the supervision of Juliette Low,

Dramatic Club Cast Striving

founder of the Girl Scouts. The organization attempts to bridge the natural gap between the accent placed on the “individual” in the home and the need for co-operation and service in the social group. The troops stands in miniature for social and civic law and makes for co-operation and service in the home. In other words, Betty learns the “give and take” she may fail to get at home. Joan Sherwood of Troop 40 yesterday placed the hands of the cookie clock at 35,000 dozen. The daily increase in sales to date has been 5000. Continuing at this rate, the Scouts will reach their 50,000 goal by Saturday. Four additional Scouts have passed the 200 dozen mark in sales. They are Joan Sher-

“wood, Mary Boyd Higgins and Mary McClure of

Troop 8; and Betty Lou Malcom of Troop 78. The transportation committee under the chairmanship of Mrs. Oliver Stout and Mrs. John Alex-

. ander are busy today delivering reorders to troops

who are increasing their original sales orders. Members are identified by the bumper stripes on their cars carrying the slogan, “Buy Girl Scout Cookies.” Committee members include Mesdames D. D. Stowell, Clarence Zinn, Roy Bain, John Dulligan, Sheldon Sayles, Vernon Ray, A. W. Rohlwing, C. E. Badger, Ralph Bauer, R. C. Hiller, Charles A. Nugent, Bud Vickery, Robert L.. Husson, J. P. Davey, H. T. Doub, Betty Hammerstat, Florence Stutzky, David Buxton and Miss Jean Reu and Miss Jean Coffin.
