Western Samoan Guides In NZ
p. 159 · Read in the full issue
These Girl Guides from Western Samoa made history when they represented Samoa at the New Zealand Centennial Camp held at Marton in January. It was the first time a group had gone from the Territory to represent their Association overseas. The camp was attended by over 1,000 guides and leaders, and the girls later went on to Arahina with other Island guides for a special training course.
Miss Mary Hopkirk (centre back), who is the Pacific Island Travelling Organiser for the Girl Guides Association, also returned to N.Z. to help on the staff of the Centennial Camp. Miss Hopkirk expects to be back in the Islands early this year.
