    CTo be .111 intemational visitor for the Girl Scouts of the tT.S.A. is .1 mo~t gr.ttifying experience. One retl.tms with a real sense of dedication to share it with even·one who will listen. However, few of us are so gifted tha't we can hold our friends spellbound for a long period of time ''ith just talk. and so begins the real challenge: how do we share. how do others benefit from the ex-perience of one person? It was two ye.trs ago tillS month that I returned home from the Philippines. 1 \\US glad to be home but sad to think it was all over. Today I lmow how wrong I was to think it was all over; one chapter was ended, but another was just beginning. This is the story of how I tried to share with others my ex-periences as an International Adult Visitor and of how 1 believe the council has benefitted. I retunwd jusl in lime to spc<\k at our council's biennial dinner. From this came other re(1uests to speak: to PTA's, shtdy groups. church groups, a11d groups within our own membership.

In talk;ng about Girl Scouting in the Philippines I spoke of the things that especiallv impressed me: their inspiring flag ceremonies, their knowledge of the World Associ.ttion. and the importance and use of this kno\\'ledge in their program. I encouraged "troop pen pals"-letters from the whole troop, scrapbooks of troop acti\'ities. and pictures of troop members, their schools and homes. I feel that Girl Scouts of different countries can leam much more about each other if they make this a troop project. I always stressed the importance of being a good am­ bttssador; this is one of our most important functions as representatives abroad and should never be forgotten!

    C \luchissimas gracias ... mcrci bcaHcoup ... Dankc schon ... domo origato. The words are different but the message is the same-thank you very much. TI1e Juliette Low \Yorld Friendship Fw1d would like to p~1Ss along this message to all Girl Scouts who gave Dimes for Daisy and helped the fund reach a record-breaking high for our Golden Anniversary year. TI1e 1962 contributions total S285,294. This was 846,620 more than in 1961-an in­ crease of 20 percent- making possible more opportunities for our members to get acquainted with Guides and Girl Scouts from around the world.

    Seventeen Girl Scout councils and three TOFS groups received the Colden Awliversary Thank You for attaining their Dimes for Daisy goal. The col01ful green-and-gold border of the thank-you certificate they rec<'ived is reproduced in black and white on this page.

    TOFS 1962 gifts were double those of 1961. Region I leaped ahead more th.m any other region, with a 5.5 percent increase over 1961; Region \'III was n!":~ot with a 34 percent increase. A goodl~· number of councils doubled or hipled their previous gifts; several gave seven or eight times as much; 8.'5 councils gave 15 cents or more per member-twice the 1961 counh)'-wide :werage.

    High enthusiasm, backed up b~· d~11amic effort, made Dimes for Daisy ~row in 1962. Let's spread this enthusiasm to all our members, girls and adults, in 1963. The Dimes for D.tisy slogan had such an appeal that it ,,;n still he med, but no specific goal is being suggested. Will you and your girls do yow· share to keep Dimes for Daisy growing, so that Girl Scouts rna~· play an incre,tSingly significant part in today's urgent task of furthering interna­ tional understanding?

You helped to make these pro­ jects possible by giving to your Juliette Low World Friend­ ship Fund. You will be sharing their benefits for a long time to come. By Gene Edgar Our Golden Annh·ersary Year wa~ a banner year in international friendship. The 196.2 Juliette Low World Friencbhip Fund reached a record ltigh. The number of persons participating in international events and the geo­ graphic spread of these events were unprecedented. In 1962, the Juliette Low Fund provided international oppor­ Discovering- tunities for 49.2 Guides and Girl Scouts (as compared with .2.57 in 1962): 83 from the U.S.A., 409 from other COWl­ tries. Never before in a single year have so m:my coun­ tries been rcpresented-fiftv-six in all areas of the free world. Tn addition to these' fw1d-supported opporhmities, 270 girls and adults of U.S.A. Girl Scout Troops on internationally Foreign Soil (TOFS) took pmt in intemational camps and events in. four countries; Far East and -:\'orth Atlantic Girl Scouts hostessed more than a hwKlrecl girls and leaders from twelve countries at TOFS camps and gatherings.

Of tllis amow1t. 69 per cent was used to bring about international exchange opportwtities: 28 per ctnt supported work of the World .'\ssociation of Girl Guides and Girl Sc;mts: about 3 per cent was spent for promotion of the fUlld and some administrative e~-penses. lrho shares the benefits? . . . and how?

    From Mrs. H. B. Wood, Pittsburgh, Pa.: Our Senior Scout troop has had several won­ derful camping experiences when the husbands or dads came' along, and our council was most co-operative. However, before asking your council to change its policy, carefully out­ line your trip and include your reasons for wanting the men along, making sure your campsite will accommodate a few extra tents or have a separate cahin for the men. Why did we want to include husbands or _.../! dads? First, they are good drivers in uncertain N£W GIRL StOUT we~ther. Second, when a campsite is a OESIGN two- or three-hour drive frorn home and extra drivers are needed on a Friday evening, we felt it was too much to ask them to drive home that same night and then return on Stmday to take us home. Third, it means there are extra drivers in camp for emergencies and to transport girls to chnrcl1 on Sunday. Fourth, if we camped at an established camp, part of our program was to do a service project, such New f&el~o~res of these time--testad as transplanting small evergreens, painting tent COUNCIL a11d TROOP m011ey-earnlng floors, or cleaning boats.
