My girlfriend and I stayed in the camp next to the one where the girls were camping.
We were in 6th grade and I am 64 now.
I am Cherokee. There wasn’t any supervision in the Scout camp as the counselors were supposed to be watching the girls. We could freely walk at night from camp from camp in the dark meeting other kids. I am interested in this and my best friend died 2 years ago but we weren’t surprised that something happened as the counselors were partying in tents with each other. Very disappointed that “The Girl Scouts of America” operated an unsupervised facility!
