SCOUT LJ::ADER brea inu down the wall by Bobby Lu Cleaves Beginning the true story of two college students who reached across barriers to form a Cadette troop in the inner city My college roommate, Kathy Weller, and I had real ized that a Cadette troop in an inner-city community center would present a challenge. We were white and all the girls were black; we had been in Scouting twelve years and they had barely heard of the move ment; we were each twenty years old and they were around thirteen. They had never lived outside a black community and we had never lived within one. Somehow it was Gerry's acceptance we needed the most; I'm still not sure why. She was not the leader \ or spokesman for the group. Juanita* was that. Yet Gerry• exerted a kind of disquieting influence upon I I the nine other girls, and each one would wait to see what responses our suggestions would elicit. Would ;; she laugh. or roll her eyes, or would she say, "Oh, brother!" or get up and walk around? Was she ex pressing enthusiasm or irritation? We couldn't tell. Our first encounter with Gerry was toward the end of our first meeting. She and several boys were jeer ing at us through one of the basement windows, and we invited her to join us. With a "You can't come with me, boys," she sauntered into the room, her head covered with large pink rollers and a grinning smirk turning the corners of her mouth. From the very beginning she seemed to have no use for Girl Scouts, who were a bunch of babies, nor for the two white college students who called them selves Girl Scout leaders. Yet she could not stay away. She would come in late for the sole purpose of harassing the other girls and making fun of their childish efforts to be creative. She would leisurely stroll around the table where the girls were working, taking giant steps and putting all her weight on her heels. She would keep her arms clasped behind her back and, chuckling to herself, peer over the shoul ders of the other Cadettes. Then as suddenly as she had come she would leave, saying she was on an er rand and had just stopped by. When invited to join ·. •Not the girls' real nnmes.

When we began tying knots or putting on arm bandages, we simply handed her a piece of rope or a sling. Some times she accepted it; at other times she would Jet it slip through her fingers. Gerry was more mature than the nine other Cadettes. She truly wanted the companionship of other girls but did not know how to obtain it. Though she seemed oblivious to their com ments, she was acutely aware of their remarks.

C'.. _-:-:f- ~D--. ,., BY \...In~ ovv .:;)COW., ~ - BUSTER BROWN OCTOBER 1969 If you have sharp eyes, you may be seeing for the first time this fall a new and unusual pin on the uniforms of a few very fortunate Girl Scouts. It is the International Friendship Recognition pin, which can be earned and worn only by members of certain Girl Scout Troops on Foreign Soil. These TOFS girls are the daughters of American civilian, diplomatic, and mili tary families living temporarily aboard, and as they move from place to place, Girl Scout ing is one of their strongest links with home. But it is much more than that. It can be a com mon interest with girls of their own age in the coun tries where they are living. While some are fortunate enough to be able to join the national Girl Guide associations where they live, this is not always possible because of an es pecially difficult language barrier, a difference in school sched ules, or other factors. In such cases, Troops on Foreign Soil may be organized under Bye-Law IV of the World Association, which provides for the affiliation and registration of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in countries other than their own. A girl's membership abroad in a strong Girl Scout troop with a re sourceful and imaginative leader can emphasize not only the value of her own national heritage but the remarkable oppor tunity of relating her Scouting experience to the life of the country in which she is a guest. Surprisingly enough, international contacts are not always easy for her to make. Sometimes she lives on a military base where she is separated from the surrounding community; sometimes in a remote and isolated missionary or oil company compound. Frequently she attends an American school where her contacts with children of the host country are limited. North Atlantic Girl Scouts, concerned about this problem and anxious to resolve it, inaugurated last year an International Friendship Recognition project for TOFS girls of all age levels in a number of countries. Its purpose is to make each of them aware of the unique opportunities for international friendships that are hers, and to encourage an honest, individual effort to establish a sincere, warm, and ongoing relationship with a girl, or, if necessary, an adult of the country in which she is living temporarily. Through this relationship she is expected to learn as much as possible about the country in which she is a guest, and in turn to interpret her own country to her friend. The record of this adventure-and truly it has proven to be an adventure-is kept in a sort of memory book of places visited, experiences shared, foreign songs and games and language phrases learned, and impressions gained of the everyday life of another girl of another country. Only when all these require ments have been met may she wear the International Friend ship Recognition. But let TOFS speak for themselves. Certain questions are asked of the girls when they receive the pin. How did you meet your friend? A Junior in Spain answered, "We live in the country. My friend and her brother came and asked for a drink of water, and stayed to help mow the lawn." Another said, "Pilar is the daughter of my mother's seamstress, and she comes often to play and have meals with us." A Cadette in Spain wrote that she went to an orphanage at El Escorial, and Isabella was her partner in all the games and they became friends immediately. One met her friend in church, another said her friend climbed over the fence, and a Junior in Germany was so sure she couldn't make a friend that she almost gave up, but in the end she found twins. Which requirement or activity was the most difficult? A Junior wrote, "Explaining the United States Government was very difficult for me, because I have spent six of my nine years in Spain." We forget that we have Girl Scouts like that. Another said, "Finding a Spanish friend was the most diffi cult." That is not a problem in Japan, where many friendships have resulted from the Scout-to-Scout Twogether project. • In Okinawa, the project has been translated into Japanese for the benefit of the Ryukyu Islands Girl Scouts so that they may make American friends. It has been surprising to see that in several Middle Eastern countries, where it has frequently been difficult to make contacts, especially among the women, our Girl Scouts are working hard on the requirements. We are proud of the Cadette in London who said that the requirement that meant the most to her was "the one about helping your friend to understand the United States." From South Germany came a report that the impetus pro vided by the International Friendship Recognition has been phenomenal in some areas. "Once we have German and Amer ican Scouts visiting back and forth, it is only a short time before we find entire families and then large segments of whole communities involved. A project was undertaken by our Junior Girl Scouts with their German friends, and soon the Cadettes in that neighborhood wanted to do something with their coun terparts, so they invited German [Continued on page 53] Campus Girl Scouts can be a gold mine of help to leaders ...

The 1968 Girl Scout World of the Arts Conference, at the Edith Macy Training Center in Briarcliff Manor, New York, demonstrated that young people respond enthusiastically to the arts both as observers and as participants. Many Scouts who attended the World of Arts Conference have since carried out activities in music, ~~~~!~~P~~~ ::::;~ ~:~ci~ t~~~P::n:1: ities. Reports indicate that these activities RECRUITING have been popular among both Scouts and non-Scouts. Where the activities can involve non Scouts, the potential for membership development should not be overlooked: they provide an THROUGH opportunity to introduce girls to Scouting through example rather than through preachment. Assisted by members of her troop, Karen Price THE has developed a mobile puppet theatre as her back-home project following the Girl Scout World of Arts Conference. A news article from the Charleston, West Virginia, Gazette tells us that ARTS she "hopes to take it to other troops and possibly hospitals." The show is called "Mrs. Goose's Store." By Edward Lander If Karen's very popular performances were used for recruitment purposes, what kinds of questions would need to be considered?

In Mississippi, Explorer Scouts and the Girl Scout participants are exploring all aspects of newspaper publishing in a special-interest post sponsored by a newspap('r, 'I'he Mississippi Press Register. The Scouts, who are concentrating on publicizing Scout ing in their own area, are getting acquainted with the mechanics of advertising, reporting, and layout dur ing classes conducted by the newspaper's staff. Articles written by the Explorers and the Girl Scout participants have already begun to appear in print. Medicine is the special interest of an Explorer post in Oak Lawn, a suburb of Chicago. Dlinois. The Boy Scouts and Girl Scout participants recently toured a community hospital, talking with medical experts and witnessing the use of new equipment. They found out what is involved in a pathologist's study and in the work of a physical therapist. Thl'y viewed surgery in a clinical learning experience, and toured the labs, school of nursing, diet kitchen, and pharmacy. In Michigan. the play's the thing in a special interest Explorer post sponsored by the Flint Com munity Players. These Boy Scouts and the Girl Scout participants are pursuing their interest in drama as they help the Community Players with pro duction jobs. In another part of Michigan, the spe cial interest is water activities, including water and boat safety. This group from l\larquette has a "fleet" of two large sailboats, one utility boat. five sailing surfboards, two canoes, and a smaller sailboat. The Scouts do their own repair work and have also reno vated a number of the boats.
