Explore the complex connections between Boston philanthropist Helen Storrow, Pinewoods Camp, and the First Girl Scout Training School in the early 20th century. Mrs. Storrow was a progressive-minded woman with a vigorous interest in the benefits of all health-giving activities, especially camping, folk dancing, singing, swimming, gardening, and hiking. With help from the archival treasures of the Girl Scout Museum at Cedar Hill in Waltham, MA, we will journey into the past to learn more about Mrs. Storrow and her amazing legacy to Pinewoods Camp and the Girl Scouts.
Francine Edwards, one of the co-founders of the Girl Scout Museum at Cedar Hill, spent eight glorious summers during the late 1940s and early 1950s at Camp Four Winds on Long Pond. She was a camper, kitchen worker, and eventually waterfront counselor teaching swimming, boating, and canoeing. A current museum volunteer, Francine has special interest in Helen Storrow and the early history of Girl Scouting in Massachusetts.
