Six of us are leaving this week-end to go over the camp site and to get whatever is possible fixed up before Christmas.” Silver Moon, of the Awataha Company, writes that the girls have now a cricket team and that she has been reelected games captain, a position she has held ever since she joined the company. "Last Saturday evening,” she states, "the Awataha Girl Guides held a most successful camp fire. The Guides were all arrayed in fancy costumes. I won the first prize as an Indian Maid (I went as Silver Moon). As soon as I can, I shall have my photograph taken in the Indian suit and send it to you. A girl out of my patrol gained second. We all had a most enjoyable time.” Little Silver Crescent, a Wellington Guide Brave, writes as follows: "I belong to St. Michael’s Company and we nave five patrols: The Robin, Nightingale, Swift, Thrush, and Kingfisher. Our captain has been in England for the past six months, but she is expected back soon. During her absence our lieutenant is acting-cap-tain. "Our concert went off very well on Friday, and the hall was packed with people, so we will have quite a lot of money for our camp funds. Quite a number of the Guides are going into camp this Christmas.” * m * Gliding Moccasin, of St. Peter’s Company, writes from Hamilton: "Yesterday (December 3) we journeyed far to an anniversary pow-wow of the Te Awamutu Guides. Two weeks earlier we visited the Cambridge' Guides for their fifth birthday. On Tuesday, several of our company, including your Braves, will be sitting for the ambulance badge.”
