Summary

"The Girl Scouts on the Ranch" by Edith Lavell is an early 20th-century tale where a troop of Girl Scouts, headed by Marjorie Wilkinson, trades school desks for a Wyoming ranch adventure. The story unfolds as these girls navigate the wilds of Wyoming, discovering the strength of friendship and the meaning of personal development. We first meet Marjorie and her friends at Miss Allen’s Boarding School graduation, at a time filled with the bittersweet feelings of leaving their familiar lives. Selected for a summer at a ranch, the girls' excitement grows. The narrative is enhanced when Marjorie becomes a lieutenant, and their anticipation soon gives way to a mix of joy and trepidation as they prepare for new experiences and challenges.
