This Day in History: 1923-06-06

The Mahwah Girl Scouts have organized a basketball team. They practice on Wednesdays under the direction of coach Scout Jeanie Wrathal. On Saturdays they go hiking, mountain climbing, or picnicking. They have been working on three badges. Mrs. Drake has been helping the Scouts with the milliner’s badge. Mrs. Petri directs the work of the needlewoman’s badge. Mrs. Biggs is in charge of the gardening work. The Scouts have planted beans, radishes, lettuce, and other garden vegetables. The Second patrol has made curtains for the Scout room. (Bristow)
