Butler Troop of Campus Girl Scouts Records

 Collection
Identifier: UA05.17

Scope and Contents

This collection contains materials relating to the Butler Troop of Campus Girl Scouts. This includes numerous invitations to regional conferences, directions/maps, correspondence between different troops, and many registration forms for activities, conferences, and camporees. There is also the result of a questionnaire the Butler Troop sent out asking other campus troops how they deal with low membership and how to get that membership up. Fundraising and finance items are also within this collection. This includes cookie order forms and some cookie sale plan booklets. Several receipts, presumably the payment for cookies, are also included and there are spending records kept that correspond to different activities and their materials. Additionally, there are different magazine-type items that contain Girl Scout News, both local and regional. There are a few small booklets containing information about why and how to organize a campus Girl Scout troop. Finally, there are different sections from the “test” of what girls needed to fill out in order to receive their “Trail Blazer” patch.

Historical Note

Campus Girl Scouts acts almost as an alumni group, giving those who have graduated high school (the usual deadline for completing Girl Scouts) and gives them the opportunity to keep doing Girl Scouts during college. Campus Girl Scouts clubs provide college students with opportunities to make the world a better place on campuses and in their communities. While Campus Girl Scouts is a club, it is not a university club, and the Butler Troop of Campus Girl Scouts simply consisted of students at Butler. The Butler Troop of Campus Girl Scouts operated under the Hoosier Capital Girl Scout Council and participated in typical Girl Scout activities such as conferences, camporees, and cookie selling.
