The Girl Scouts' Captain

At Turner College, five senior women glide through their last autumn days, each perched beside a freshly polished roadster that once belonged to their shared Girl Scout troop. The girls—Lily, Florence, Daisy, Alice and Marjorie—reunite each evening, swapping jokes about the cars while debating who will lead them into their final year. Their light‑hearted banter masks a deeper question: who will become senior class president, a role that seems to blend popularity with genuine responsibility. As the campus lights flicker on, the group prepares for a night of dancing, studying, and the inevitable election talks.

Marjorie, feeling the weight of turning twenty‑one, confides in Lily that she wants to do something truly meaningful beyond the usual festivities. While Lily pushes her to stay socially active and secure the presidency, Marjorie wrestles with the idea of a legacy that honors their Scout vows of service. The conversation reveals the tension between personal ambition and collective duty, setting the stage for a summer of decisions that will test their friendships and shape their futures.
