When life gives them lemons, Girl Scouts make lemonade. Photograph taken June 27, 1939 at the Girl Scout Day Camp held at the Point Defiance C.C.C. Camp. Four Girl Scouts at camp table slicing and squeezing lemons for large pot of lemonade. The "Kapers" chart hanging from the tree in the background is a Girl Scout tradition and lists the chores each girl is responsible for during camp. The day camp activities were intended to give the girls who could not go to one of the overnight camps a real "wilderness" experience. The girls would prepare their own meals, as well as go on nature quests and participate in group singing, games, archery, swimming, folk dancing, dramatics and crafts. (T. Times 6/13/1939, pg. 9)
