Title A name given to the resource Girl Scouting in 1975 (1975) Description An account of the resource A handwritten account of the structure of girl scouting in 1975 by Marie Lefebvre of Cadette Girl Scout Troop 158. Transcription: Girl Scouting in 1975 is an activity that you can begin in first grade and never end. The first step in Girl Scouting begins with brownies. You enter this organisation which contains both artistic and recreational games so that you can enjoy yourself. No badges are required but you do have mottos and some rules to follow in order to always act like a true brownie in every way. The second step, after three years of brownies, is becoming a junior Girl Scout. In Junior scouting you have a number of badges to do. You don't have to do any badges but to enjoy the best part of scouting you should do a few/ Your involvement in Scouts (camping, parades, badges, ect.) goes towards your record in Cadettes, and continues right up with you. At the age of twelve you become a cadette. In these two years you can earn badges or challenges. Badges help both Junior and Cadettes to understand more about caring for your home, animals, and many other topics in different ways. While challenges help you to be prepared. These challenges put you in the situations that they involve. So in an emergency you don't lose your head or panick.

Title A name given to the resource Letter from Genevra Counihan (1975) Description An account of the resource A letter from State Representative Genevra Counihan for the Girl Scout time capsule. Transcription: Dear Ellen, Thank you for your letter asking me to participate with the Brownies in the time capsule. Your invitation means even more to me, because I too was a Brownie many years ago and now have a daughter, Jessica, in Troop 190. You asked me two questions: What I think is important about Concord and how I got to be State Representative. The most important thing about Concord is the people who live here now, lived here in the past and will live here in the future. People have given Concord its special character—the historic landmarks, the open fields and woodlands, the ideals, simplicity, and all the activities we enjoy. Many have cared very much, shared their ideas, and worked hard to keep what is best about Concord and to make our Town a better place to live. To become a State Representative. one must run for office. Running means asking people to help you and to vote for you. I met the people in our District (Concord, Carlisle and North Sudbury) by going alone or with a friend to over 3,000 doors to introduce myself, so voters could ask me questions. I also attended over 40 coffees and many more meetings, fairs, parades, and even the dump, where it was possible to meet and talk to voters. But it took much more than my effort to win. There were many volunteers who addressed envelopes, delivered leaflets, passed out bumper stickers and pins, talked to friends, wrote press releases and had parties to raise money for our campaign. My job now is to help people in our District, so if you have more questions, please let me know, or if you have any suggestions, I'd like those too. Thanks again for including my letter.
