Parents endorse Scouting program

By LESLIE WHITMAN So far, I have talked about the benefits of the Girl Scouting program in Syracuse from the leaders and children’s points of view. But what about the parents, do they feel Girl Scouting is worthwhile? Mrs. Anita Bjella, mother of two girls in Girl Scouts, definitely feels so. “I am personally just sold on Girl Scouts,” she said, “It’s better organized than Camp Fire Girls,” Mrs. Bjella, who is also a leader of Brownie Troop 125, was on the executive council of Camp Fire Girls for eight years. Her oldest daughter, Denise, went through the entire Camp Fire program and is now a Senior Girl Scout. Mrs. Bjella said the main thing she likes about Girl Scouts is the opportunities. She also said the. Girl Scout office is always there to answer questions. “With Camp Fire Girls, we never had any training. Not this way with Girl Scouts.” — She went on to say, “I’m thrilled my little one is going to have Scouts all the way through. I intend to go all the way through with them.” Her daughter, Debra, is a Brownie. The leader and mother summed up her feelings about Girl Scouts by saying, “I’m really sold on the Scouting program. I have seen my daughters become more mature.” Another parent who is sold on the Girl Scouting program in Syracuse is Mrs. Jackie Gunn. She says, “I think the reason I like it best this time is the leaders. They’re so active and involved. She also feels Girl Scouts helps her daughters do a variety of things. Jeanine is a Junior Girl Scout while Jennifer is a Brownie. Mrs. Gunn went on to say, “I think it’s important. They are learning to listen to .these other women.”

Uncomplicated complex of Amish

The alarm rings. Children file out of beds yet to be made. A tusband hastens to shower and exchange the sleepiness of the morning for the hustle of the commuter train. Breakfast fare flies and a mother somewhere substitutes a fantasy for the reality of the morning chaos and the enormity of the tasks ahead. Dailiness sets in. But not today. Today is special and different, for in a few short hours, this family will be exchanging the monotony of that dailiness for an exciting experience at historic Amish Acres, opening anew for its ninth summer season on May 1. Located on U.S. 6 West on the

Mrs. Bjella, who is also a leader for Brownie Troop 125, is shown above with her two daughters. Debra, left, and Denise, right, who are both Syracuse Girl Scouts.

Even though she has to drive her girls around a lot, Mrs. Gunn doesn’t mind. “It’s worth it; it’s well worth the trips. ” Father Likes Scouts Mike Neff, father of Kristine, who is a Brownie, likes the Scouting program. He said, “I think it 1 fun for her. She learns a lot. These are the things that are super about Girl Scouts.’’ He added his daughter seems to enjoy Scouting. “She enjoyed going to camp,” he commented,

“I think its a very worthwhile program.” Mrs. Sandy Cobbum especially likes Girl Scouts fbr her daughter because she herself was once a Girl Scout in Muncie.

It’s a treat for her to join them.” “I think the Girl Scouting program is much better organized than the Camp Fire program,” Mrs. Cobbum commented, “It just helps build a better child.” Girl Scouts is almost one year old in Syracuse and it seems like it is here to stay, if the parents, leaders and girls have anything to say about it.
