About This Book

A troop of schoolgirl Scouts at a boarding school take turns organizing social events, athletic contests, and Scout activities while managing friendships and rivalries. The narrative follows Marjorie, Lily, Ruth and their classmates through a series of episodes—receptions, meetings, a lost canoe, seasonal parties and bazaars, a haunted-house stunt, outings and a trip to Washington—that test leadership, resourcefulness, and solidarity. Practical problem-solving, loyalty, and community service govern the girls' choices as duties and small competitions lead to earned badges and a personal triumph that rewards perseverance and cooperative effort.
