The Senior Girl Scout
Roundup could be considered the highlight of any Girl Scout's path.
The
requirements to apply for a slot were high and the competition was stiff.
Generally 8 girls were chosen to represent each council. 2 alternate girls
were also chosen. Those 8 girls were one patrol, they would join 3 other
patrols (intentionally chosen from 3 other geographical areas) to form 1
troop. 2 adults were selected to be leaders. All girls and adult volunteers
had to attend training and encampments in their regions to prepare for the
Roundup. Not only were Roundup Camp Uniforms required, the Seniors
often traveled to the Roundup in the full Senior dress uniform! Girls from
other countries were invited to attend as well. This was a cream of the crop
campout.
It was meant to
show off the best of Girl Scouting.
Each roundup had a
theme/slogan and the trading post had many "Roundup" items to offer beyond
the pins and patches; dolls in roundup uniforms, plates, ashtrays,
handkerchiefs, mugs, ceramic tiles, etc.
