May 18 was the annual "Through the Looking Glass" event for the surfside service unit of girl scouts.
Sixty-eight girls attended the outdoor learning experience, held at the Sweetwater Dam Reservoir.
All of the skills were taught to the brownies by the junior and cadette girl scouts, who were earning their aid and leadership awards.
One of the favorite skill areas was knot tying, led by junior troop # 5102 of Nicoloff Elementary School.
These seasoned campers taught the bolin (sic), square, and half-hitch knots by using candy ropes, then later by using the real thing.
Several brownie troops attended and earned their bridge to junior award, including troop 15091 of Sunnyslope Elementary School, led by Tina Cash.
These girls learned how to build fires, use jack knives, tool leather, cook a one pot meal, use a compoass, make leaf rubbings, as well as tie knots.
Cadette Girl Scout Troop 5075 will have a camping trip for an encampment/bridging court of awards program tomorrow at Silver Strand State Park. The troop will hold its final meeting of the year on June 10, a fun night at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour.
