They camped in a

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 banks badly. 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.
GUESTS AT BACKLUND'S
Mattie Backlund has been
enjoying several house guests
recently. Her brother, Tom
Christian, from Yuma, Arizona
has spent some time there. Also
visiting were her son and
daughter-in-law, Frank and Louise
Smith, from Forks.
