Alumnae Story
A Trip to Beat All Trips

By Elizabeth Fix Prodrick

This story is from a trip my Cadette Troop No. 544 took in August of 1969. We traveled from Penfield, N.Y., to Washington, D.C.  On the way we stopped in Gettysburg. It was the first time for many of us traveling away from home. We were gone for five days and spent our nights camping at the then Rockwood National Girl Scout Camp, which was in Bethesda, Md. 

We toured many of the monuments and also visited the National Archives and the FBI building, and took a boat trip to Mount Vernon. 

I have many memories of great Girl Scout trips, but this one still stands out in my mind.
