The Girl Scouts' Motor Trip

The story opens in a bustling college dorm where Marjorie, Lily, Florence and Alice, all members of the senior patrol of the Pansy Troop, celebrate a hard‑won hockey victory. Their friendship is lively and full of teasing banter, giving a vivid picture of teenage energy and the close‑knit world of Girl Scouts. When Alice bursts in with an unexpected letter, the atmosphere shifts from sports triumph to the promise of a new adventure.

Inside the envelope lies an invitation from a long‑lost, wealthy aunt who proposes to fund a motor‑car journey across the country to California, insisting on a chaperone and covering all expenses. The girls scramble to imagine the possibilities—sun‑drenched coasts, new sights, and the chance to put their scouting skills to the test far from home. As they begin to plan, the excitement of the unknown road ahead hints at both the challenges of independence and the bonds that will keep them together.
