Girl Scout Day Camp at Point Defiance C.C.C. Camp. Five young girls from the "Pioneer" unit roasting hotdogs on sticks over an open fire, learning the art of stick cookery. Others prepare the lemonade supply. For the first time, the four year old day camp would be located at the abandoned CCC camp near Ft. Nisqually. Intended to give the girls a real outdoor experience, the camp included instructions and practice on preparing your own meal over an open fire. The Scouts around the fire are, left to right, Lucy McIntyre, Laydel Green, Juanita Clark, Phyllis Elsworth, Ruth Strom and Dorothy Allen. (T. Times 6/13/1939, pg. 9; picture 7/8/1939, pg. 6)
