THE GIRL SCOUT SHOP

SCOUT UNIFORMS AND EQUIPMENT

Operating under National supervision the Girl Scout Supply Department carries a complete and attractive line of equipment for girls. It is the purpose of this branch to give the Scout her equipment at lowest possible cost. Official equipment is sold to members of Registered Troops on formal presentation by Scout of her voucher signed by her Captain.

Price lists will be furnished upon application and money must be sent with order as the equipment is handled on a strictly cash basis. Owing to the irregularity of the market these prices will change from time to time but a revised price list will be printed every two months until the market is more stable.

Sizes should be given when ordering uniforms; this applies also to hats and belts. Find out from jeweler size of ring needed.

This is a form to be used by the individual Scout

=THE AMERICAN GIRL=

_=It Contains The Only=_

Up-to-date account of Girl Scout doings. You can
read of Scout camps in the North, scout parties in
the South, scout mountain climbing expeditions in
the West, and scout hikes in the East. These are
all described delightfully by the scouts
themselves.

_=As For The Stories=_

They are carefully selected with an eye to real
fun and excitement. "Regular girls" like "regular
stories." The American Girl remembers that and has
one or more good ones every month.

Every month there is a page of foreign scout news.
Did you know there were Girl Scouts in
Czechoslovakia? Well there are, and you can read
about them and also about the Girl Scouts in
England, France, Italy and Belgium.

_=There Are New Ideas, Too=_

That are likely to be just what you are looking for. The Party Page has a suggestion for a scout entertainment every month. And there are hundreds of hints to help you with your camping, hiking and other scout activities.
