Just after my recent post on Girl Scout Roundups, I saw a collection of Roundup photos for sale on eBay.
No one bid on them, so I snapped them up at the last minute. Even if they aren’t of Nation’s Capital people, they are part of Girl Scout history and should be saved.
There were two dozen black and white snapshots, most stamped “August 1962,” which coincides with the Button Bay Roundup in Vermont.
The seller lives in Ohio, and one of the girls in some of the photos (not included here) seems to be wearing an Ohio State University sweatshirt.
I’ll share some of the photos here, perhaps readers can help with captions?
Whoever these ladies are, they seem to be having tremendous fun.
