Nice to see girls back then on how they do things in the girl scouts from the 1950s. This video should be in the museum or a library. Thanks for sharing.👍📽️
Holy cow! The title says 1951, the video stated the girls as being 11 years old. Everyone in this video lived through World War 2. The adults lived through the Great Depression as well. That context really changes how I view this video.
times change. basics don't. the pins i wear today are the same as the pins these girls and women wore then. and just btw, i went camping last weekend with my girl scout troop in two feet of snow at -15F. good times.
Does anyone know the location of the camp in this video? Looks like a familiar California Camp near Idyllwild. I was there in the 1960's, when it became a Y Camp.
@@jonhohensee3258 I said it looked FAMILIAR. Things change with time. Silly goose. There's an acorn on the ground waiting for you to plant it somewhere. Lookup the YWCA camp.
So how many cars carried them part of the way there? How did they get all those bedrolls and food and supplies in one '46 Ford? They cooked supper over an open fire...in a fireplace? Who did KP duty? Then they had a nice clean cabin with their own beds, not cots or bunks? No pup tents, no bugs, no sleeping bags, no having it pour all night until your tent was flooded and everything you owned was wet, so you spent most of the night shivering? Where were things like canteens while there were rambling around making a map with on compass? And who made those flapjacks in the morning? Camping with the Girl Scouts was sure a lot different than camping when I was in the Boy Scouts.
