This publication may not be 830 Thlr Delegates to last spring's program conferences around the country shared great new ideas for program delivery and discovered, again, that the "world of people" we find in Girl Scouting is remarkably varied and stimulating. We have different accents, lifestyles, politics, temperaments, racial and ethnic J backgrounds. We really are grass-roots America, and that's one of Girl Scout ing's great strengths. I was particularly impressed by the number of busy participants who hold demanding paid jobs and manage households and, yet, are among our most enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers. I was reminded of a comment by the editor of a leading magazine for working women: a survey of her readership showed that women suffering from job burnout, or other pres sures of demanding schedules, reported that volunteer service, with its focus outward, was the miracle cure for a surprising number of women. I think most of us agree that we do receive as much as we give in Girl Scout service. There is something uniquely happy and hopeful about serving young people. Because we're working for the future, we can't be stodgy or timid or defeatist. We know that in opening up new worlds to girls, our own adult horizons expand magically also. An article in this issue explains how Girl Scouting welcomes the "new kid on the block." Let's give the new adult on the block a warm welcome, too. Let's tell her how special and rewarding and personally fulfilling Girl Scout volunteer service can be! This issue's excellent eight-page centerfold, with ilo; suggested program projects to enhance international understanding. should be a fine stimulus to leaders to "look wider still." We need to do all we can to help girls growing Volunteer service, up in our increasingly interdependent world to understand more about the similarities and differences among cultures and people around the globe, so with its focus that this and future generations can live in peace. In 1984, we will have a most unusual and valuable opportunity to team much more about our own outward, was the worldwide sisterhood, as we prepare to welcome Girl Scouts and Girl Guides from 104 countries to the United States for WAGGGS 25th World Conference. miracle cure for a We hope to welcome many of the delegates into our camps and communities surprising number across the nation and to learn firsthand about their lives and experiences.

Now, more than ever before, there is urgent need to recognize our common humanity, to understand our common values, beliefs, and aspira tions. These are what we must build on, and Girl Scouts have unique op· portunities now to start where they live and to make their contributions to lasting world peace.

In Cincinnati, Ohio, for instance, officials have determined that "citi· fled" raccoons occupy more square miles in the city than in the outlying areas; and fox dens have been found within the city limits of Boston, Phila delphia, and Baltimore. While it may be rare to see these particular species, dozens of others inhabit all cities, large and small.

Recent census figures show that more than one-third of the U.S. pop ulation moves annually. Last year alone, according to the Employee Re location Council, almost one out of every five families changed address. For many families, moving is a traumatic time. Children, especially, feel uprooted from all that is familiar. Their regular routines are disrupted, and the progress they have made in social development is at least tempo rarily arrested. At the same time, be cause the adults in the family are caught up in the logistics of the move, they may be less aware than usual of their children's fears and anxieties. Junior Girl Scout Kendra Head is a prime example of our mobile society and the epitome of a Girl Scout on the Kendra Head is a real "Girl Scout on the Mo\'e"; her family has move.

Very lit· tie in her childhood and early wom anhood prepared her to become the World Chief Guide of a huge interna· tiona! Movement and the role model for millions of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. Her accomplishments came from her own inner strengths-self· Jessness, determination, and a will to work for a cause in which she truly be· Jleved. Born February 22, 1889, inChes terfield, England, Olave was the third and last child of Harold and Katharine Soames. Her father, disappointed by not having a son he could name Olaf, devised the feminine ending of her un usual name. Olave grew up in pleasant country homes, surrounded by her horses and dogs, with only her siblings for play mates most of the time. She later de scribed those years as "a happy, sheltered, but thoroughly useless ex istence," characteristic of most young women of her class and time. Her par ents, not believing in formal education for girls, had her schooled in the lady like arts of managing a household, sewing a fine seam, and preparing to "come out in society." This education was left to the care of a succession of governesses and ceased when she was 12.

Mensaje de Ia Presidenta Las delegadas que asistieron a las Conferencias de Programa Ia primavera pasada, celebradas en distintos lugares de nuestro pafs, compartieron neu vas Ideas de como presentar el programa de las Girl Scouts y descubrieron J otra vez, que el "mundo de las personas" que enconlramos en Girl Scouting. es un mundo muy variado y esllmulante. Tenemos diferentes acentos al hablar, diferentes formas de vivir, somos diferentes en Ia potitica, tenemos diferentes temperamentos y venimos de diferentes grupos raciales y etnicos. Somos real mente Ia rafz de America, y esto es una de las fuerzas mas grande de Girl Scouting. Me impresiono, particularmente, el gran numero de participantes, que ademas de estar tan ocupadas con las demandas de sus propios lrabajos, de manejar sus propios hogares, son las voluntarias mas entusiasmadas y dedlcadas. Recorde aqui un comentario que hiciera Ia editora de una gran revista dirigida a las mujeres que trabqjan fuera del hogar. Ia cual dice que un estudio que se hiciera de las lectoras de dicha revista indico que las mujeres que se sentran agotadas como resultado de las muchas demandas, tensiones y otras obligaciones de sus trabajos, informaron que el trabajo voluntario, enfocando mas bien en actividades tecreativas habfa sido como una cura milagrosa para un sorprendente numero de mujeres. Creo, y me parece que todas estamos de acuerdo, que recibimos tanto como aportamos cuando damos nuestros servicios, nuestra ayuda, a las Girl Scouts. Hay algi') asf como una satisfaccion unica de contentamiento y es El trab(\jo voluntario, peranza cuando se comparte y se ayuda a Ia juventud. Como estamos tra bajando con miras hacia el futuro, no debemos ser timidas, sentimos aburridas enfocando mas bien o frustradas. Sabemos que cuando abrimos nuevos mundos para las niflas, nuestros horizontes tambien se extienden magicamente. en actividades En esta misma edicion hay un articulo que explica como Girl Scouting recreativas habia da Ia blenvenida a una "nueva nina en Ia cuadra." Tam bien a Ia nueva adulta en Ia cuadra, demosle una calurosa bienvenida.

Tenemos que hacer todo to posible para que las niflas sorprendente que van creciendo en este mundo, el cuat se hace mas interdependlente numero de cada dfa, comprendan las diferenclas y similaridades en las culturas de las gentes alrededor del mundo, para que asf tanto esta generaci6n como fu mt.Yeres. turas generaciones puedan vivir en paz. En el1984 tendremos una valiosa oportunidad de aprender mas sobre nuestra hermandad mundiat. mientras nos preparamos a darles Ia bien venida a las Girl Scouts y Niflas Gufas que vienen a los Estados Unldos de America representando l 04 pafses, para asistir a las 25a Conferencla Mun dlal de Ia Asociacion Mundial de Niflas Scouts/Niflas Gulas. Esperamos recibir muchas de estas delegadas en nuestros campamentos y comunidades a traves de Ia nacion y asi aprender, de primera mano, sobre sus experiencias y sus culturas. Tanto Olave, Lady Baden-Powell, Ia Jefa Gufa Mundiat, como nuestra Juliette Low, desde el comienzo de nuestro Movlmiento recalcaron Ia im portancia de Ia comprension internacional.
