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.
