GIRL SCOUTS OF TROOP 51?
"TOUR" WITH PUPPET SHOW!
Puppet shows will keep Inter-
mediate Scout Troop 519 busy
during the month of February.
As part of their requirements
for becoming first class scouts
they have made and dressed
their puppets and prepared their
own versions of several child-
ren’s stories. They also built
their stage and painted the
scenery. Another of the require-
ments for first class is that the
Scouts work with younger
Scouts. They have become
special friends with girls in
Brownie Troops 95 and 487 by
going on cook-outs and camp- j
ing trips and are now sharing ;
the puppets with them. On Jan- j
uary 28, puppet skits were pre- j
sented to Troop 487.
The puppets will make an-1
other appearance at the Father- j
Daughter Banquet of Troop 1007
will be entertained with the pup- i
petshow. The puppets will then ^
be given to the recovering polio
patients at the Texas Recearch
and Rehabilitation Center.
