Collection Organization
The records of the Girl Scouts Senior Troop 109 from Bowling Green, Ohio give an overview of the trips, accomplishments, and activities of the group, mainly from 1951 through 1965. The larger series in the collection covers the 1957 Trip to Europe, where the troop traversed several European countries and met with other Girl Scouts from all over the globe. Over 480 slides capture Lois (Richard) Main’s experience from the trip. Additionally, several scrapbooks, journals, and other publications provide more details for the activites of the troop and Europe at the time. The second series includes other activities and records from mostly 1951-1965. Over 48 slides capture the activites of the troop, seven songbooks and a record represent some of the music of the Girl Scouts at the time, two more scrapbooks relay the travels and accomplishments of Troop 109 (including a 1954 trip to Chicago), and some mixed materials include artifacts from the 1957 National Convention (an annual Girl Scouts of the USA convention in Philadelphia).
