Robbins, the part of the Co. Property anal. The company the first camping shack was used the girls brought They camped in a ton, but all the while gradually improving the property and learning to love it more and more. In 1935 the Seattle Council decided it made a perfect permanent camp and wanted to buy it. The Seattle organization was still small, but through the combined efforts of all the girls and the adults, they raised $5,000. And the Hama Hama Logging Company sold to the Girl Scouts 437 acres of beautiful waterfront property on ltood Canal. As Mr. Robbins efforts in their behalf had so much to do with the Girl Scouts getting the property for such a small price, the camp was named Robbinswold. The Rotary Club of Seattle equipped a unit, called Little Creek. And in 1939 the C. W. Clise family gave a large contribution that built the splendid lodge which still serves the camp year around. Many troops use it for Troop Camping all year when it isn't in use as a resident camp. In 1944 Mrs. Rosalind Clise bought and gave to Robbinswold what is known as South Point where the Barnacle Bay unit is housed in the summer time. The rotunda floor of the lodge had been built with octagonal blocks of wood, most attractive and artislic .- but not practical. So in 1948 the floor was re-layed in smooth concrete to make if safe for folk dancing and games. The high tides were erroding side For School I Is Selected AY KRATCHA bE The Carnival at will be held m 3 to o p.m. The art at 7:30 p.m. the event is Lynn Chairman are Ruth Shirley Chamberlin, Nadia Hovind, Betty In Johnson, Veronica rlene Ilawley, Bob Parsons.

So the Seattle Camp Committee decided to build a bulkhead in front of the lodge in 1951. The funds for this came from the profits from the Girl Scout cookie sales in Seattle. Another 330 feet of bulkhead was built up beyond the Little Creek Unit in 1953. Still another bulkhead was needed to the south. This time a much more appropriate one of rocks was put in, and a road from the Lodge to South Point was added. Mr. and Mrs. Larry Berndt came to live at Robbinswold in 1954. Berndt built a home not too far from the Lodge, and there they lived until he retired in 1965. Mr. and Mrs. Farcey are now living in the house, as he is the Ranger in charge of the property. The Seattle-King County Council joined with other North West Councils in 1964 to form what is known as Totem Council. New Girl Scouts from all this North West area are entitled to use Robbinswold for Troop Camping and to attend the Resident Camp during the summer. REYES FISHING Tim and Ada Reyes spent several days this past week at their Ayock Beach cabin. Despite the inclement weather, they got in some salmon fishing. They returned to town early Thursday. Ada was most anxious to welcome her sister back from a prolonged vacation spent visiting relatives in England. Ada says the separation was a long one, her sister has been gone since the fourth of July and they are used to seeing each other almost weekly.
