Atlanta’s Girl Scout Troop 68 met on Saturday, November 14th, for their first meeting in more than 37 years. The group led by long time Girl Scout volunteer, Claire Thompson Smith held a reunion to honor the leader who shaped their lives and forged friendships that have withstood time and distance. The original troop was formed in 1946.
Scouts traveled from as far as California to be a part of the singing of old Girl Scout songs and the retelling of tales from many years gone by. Photographs were shared of adventures in camping in the most primitive sense and hayrides that took place right in the center of Buckhead.
At the core of all the excitement of the day and remembrances of the past was Claire Smith “almost 90”, who along with Mildred “MayPop” Wilson and seven others led these girls into maturity from age 8 years old. Claire has been serving the Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta, Inc. for more than 65 years, currently serving as Board Member, emeritus.
The troop of 22 members, who learned of three deceased members were able to find 17 of the remaining 19 Girl Scouts. Each of the women (aged 71) wrote letters for a book for Claire reminding her of the traits she established in them as young girls which continue to serve them well.
Claire Smith commented later, “In the role of troop leader and Girl Scout volunteer, we have no idea the impact we are making on the lives of these girls. I wish every volunteer in our council could read this book the girls made for me. It would help them to understand, we really are building girls of courage, confidence and character who even at age 71, are making the world a better place”.
The girl scouts who were able to attend were: Ginny Chase Bartels (Cornelia, GA), Joyce Herrman Bridges-Judkins (Albany, GA), Gayle McAfee Hughes (Stone Mountain, GA), Peggy Nelson Pryor (Yuba City, CA), Patricia Potts Thruston (Athens, GA), Sue Simmons Johnson (Atlanta, GA), Imogene Talley Goode (Atlanta, GA), Judy Troy Keith (Atlanta, GA)
The other 9 girls wanted VERY MUCH to be there, but could not come for various reasons.
