These programs were varied and entertaining. Sunday night the Greencastle Scouts were guests of the Terre Haute Girl Scouts for a program in the lovely outdoor Amphitheatre. Monday evening a camp fire program was held on the Camp McCormick grounds, at which time each patrol presented its own stunt to portray the name it had chosen for itself. Each patrol alto presented a song it had learned and taught it to the rest of the camp. This period was largely responsible for the splendid group singing the Scouts enjoyed all the rest of the week. At Tuesday's program the Terre Haute Scouts were guests at a 4th of July Pageant, “A Patriot's Dream" presented by the Greencastle Scouts in the Amphitheatre. In this presentation Virginia Arnold and Betty Evans had the leading parts. (Terre Haute Girl Scouts had helped give a 4th of July atmosphere in the afternoon when they paraded through the camp in military costumes.) Each girl in camp took part in the pageant in dances or singing. Tha program concluded with the singing of the beautiful new Scout Song “America Needs You,’^ by one of the. Counselors, Anita Williams, 01 “Chips." Miss Williams, a senior at DePauw contributed to all camp gatherings with her lovely voice. Wednesday evening, was “cookout" nifjht. Each unit went to a different spot in the Park, and eacm used a different menu, with the idea of teaching new camp cookery to the Scouts. The hike to the picnic centers gave healthy appetites and the period of games after eating added to the fun of the “cook-outs," Thursday night was the stunt night.
