OCTOBER 1960 5 FLA~H£~~ Birthday Years projects are well under way. Founders' questionnaires re ceived from councils all over the country tell of renewed contacts with many old friends. Plans for founders• events range from simple teas for very small groups to council-wide programs. Scarsdale, N.Y., has written a complete musical show. Long-term plans for quality program reported by Region VII indicate that several councils are placing 7-year- olds in existing troops to avoid one-age troops. Tribal Waters Council (Logansport, Ind.) is recruiting leaders for a 10-year Scouting program, emphasizing continuity. Large troops of wide age range are being tried in three Region IX councils with neighborhood chairmen as leaders. They are enthusiastic. A local program study by the Citrus Valley (McAllen, Texas) Program Com mittee in 1959 turned up several needs : need for sponsorship, need to expand interest in badges, need for more troop camping, need for larger troops. Find ings were used to build 1960- 61 plan of work . To encourage progression over age- level breaks some councils get Interme diate and Senior troops to invite Brownie troops on hikes, cookouts, and other outings and help them learn new skills. In three Region VII councils, Brownie and Intermediate day camps were operated on the same site so Brownies could literally •see ahead . • Intermediate training for all Brownie leaders is given by Black Rills Council (Rapid City, S.D. ) to acquaint them with the program their girls will go into later. Dallas, Texas, holds round tables to interpret the Intermediate program to leaders of older Brownies. A committee visited every older Intermediate troop in the Tanasi Council (Knoxville, Tenn.) to find out if the girls wanted to continue in Scouting as Seniors. The only doubtful troops were those threatened with loss of leader ship, so the council inaugurated a recruitment drive for leaders. Senior news page in every issue of the Northern Monmouth County Council bulletin (Shrewsbury, N.J. ) , edited by Seniors themselves, list names and ad dresses of Seniors equipped to help leaders of younger troops with special ac tivities. Seniors also offer to visit troops, talk about Senior Scouting, show slides, demonstrate skills. What ' s ahead for Seniors? An all-day meeting sponsored by the Rhode Island Senior Girl Scout Planning Board last spring featured panel discussions on marriage, careers (including opportunities in Girl Scouting, education, human relations.) In Region X, a homemaker course to help Seniors prepare for mar riage was the forward-looking project of one council. In another, a •college caravan• takes Senior Scouts on bus trips to see and investigate nearby col leges. Service to the handicapped was the subject of a training project last sum mer in which 14 Rangers from other countries and 7 Senior Scouts participated. You'll be hearing more about this project, in which Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. had the co- operation of the Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation of New York University- Bellevue Medical Center and the Easter Seal societies. Overseasmanship. A coed conference on international careers took place in August at Rockwood National Girl Scout Camp. Housed in buildings on site, 15 boys and 21 girls had a week of discussions, lectures, films, and visits in Washington. Latter included Internationa~ Center, Pan American Building, De partment of State, foreign embassies , and international training cent.ers.
