Girl Guides In Papua
p. 32 · Read in the full issue
Rev. R. L. Newman, of the New Guinea Mission in Papua, sailed from Brisbane by the Montoro during October for Samarai.
He is stationed at Eroro.
A company of girl guides was formed recently at the Anglican Mission for half caste children at Doubina, Goodenough Bay, Papua.
Utterly unacquainted with any such organisation, the girls required much pre paration and training by the Captain, Miss Ida Kent, before they were consider ed fit for enrolment by Commissioner R. E. Mac- Granahan.
Two patrols have been formed, one taking the frangipanni as its emblem and the other, the landrail.
The uniforms were made by the older girls, assisted by Miss Kent, and each girl worked her own em blem badge.
