About This Book
"Girls, this is our third Summer as the Dandelion Troop of Girl Scouts,—do you realize that fact?" commented Mrs. Vernon, generally called "Verny" by the girls, or "Captain" by her friends. "That first Summer in camp seems like mere child's play now, Verny," returned Juliet Lee, known as "Julie" or just "Jule" by her intimates. "That really wasn't camping, at all,—what with all the cooked food our families were bringing weekly to us, and the other housekeeping equipment they brought that day in the ‘furniture shower,'" Joan Allison added, giggling as she remembered the incident. "But last Summer in the Adirondacks was real camping!" declared Ruth Bentley, nodding her head emphatically. "Yes. Still it wasn't anything like this year's camping experience promises to be,—in the Rocky Mountains," replied Mrs. Vernon. "Mr. Gilroy furnished the tents and cots and other heavy camping things last summer, but this year we will have to do without such luxuries."
