This Day in History: 1926-07-09
The July meeting of the Mahwah Women’s Club was a picnic luncheon and Girl Scout entertainment given at the Cory Estate, “Watternook” on Valley Road. About forty club members watched the scouts perform a pageant on the banks of the Ramapo River. Nearly all the scouts participated in demonstrations of how they conducted their meeting and in a swimming meet. Girl Scouting’s highest award, the Golden Egret was conferred on Mabel King and Olive Eggers. Margaret King received the letter of commendation which is the last step before the Golden Egret. The Girls showed their appreciation for the day by awarding a “thanks” medal to Mrs. Walter Cory, their hostess. (Bristow)
