Girl Scouts practice their outdoor cooking skills, roasting hot dogs over a campfire on June 27, 1939 during Day Camp held at the Point Defiance CCC Camp. One girl standing beside the fire carries a knapsack on a long stick over her shoulder. The girls at the picnic table in the background are making lemonade. The "Kapers" chart hanging from the tree behind them is a Girl Scout tradition and lists the chores each girl is responsible for during camp. The Scouts were using the deserted CCC campgrounds near Fort Nisqually as a site for camp for the first time.
