Gayle Keyes, 17, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs, Stuart Keyes, Oril-
lia, (formerly of Stanley Town-
Ship), was one of 24 Canadian
Girl Guides chosen to attend the
Swedish Girl Guide Camp in Swe-
den. this summer. Mrs, Keyes
is a granddaughter of the late
Mors, Nelson Keyes, F.:grtiondville,
In the following article she tells
about the Scandinavian Tour.
Seandina,vian Tour
Excitement, not fear, brought
butterflies to our stomachs as we
saw the skyline of New York
slowly fade into the misty dis-
tance. The day we had spent in
this amazing city had been pack-
ed with sightseeing, The visit to
the Empire State Building, Rocke-
feller Centre, the U.N. and the
Girl Scout Headquarters was to
supply interesting and varied con-
servation for the 10-day boat trip
ahead.
We allocated little time on
board for sleep. The main activity
was preparing a program which
we could put on when we arrived
at the International Camp in Swe-
den.
The boat trip ended hs we once
more set foot on dry land at
Copenhagen in Denmark. Here,
Danish Girl Guides acted as our
hostesses and showed us the main
sights of the city. These included
the Rosenberg Castle, Fredericks-
borg Castle, Trivoli, The Little
Mermaid, the King's Residence,
and many others too numerous to
mention,
The cleanliness and beauty of
Copenhagen's parks impressed us
most. Whole blocks are given en-
tirely over to nature. Paths wan-
der among rock gardens, between
quiet green trees, beside peaceful
blue ponds, and up and around
colorful flower-covered terrain.
Thus we also acclaimed this city
"Wonderful Copenhagen" as the
song has done.
We were fortunate to have a
chartered bus at our disposal to
tour Denmark This trip through
historical Denmark was called
"The Fairytale Tour". Well nam-
ed it was, for we not only saw
beautiful cathedrals and castles,
but also the birthplace of Hans
Christian Andersen.
From Denmark we took a ferry
across the waters to Gothenborg,
in Sweden. There we were enter-
tained in a Swedish home and
shown 'the sights of the city by
two Swedish Guides. Sightseeing
included a ride in a large flat-
bottomed boat on some of their
many canals.
After these enjoyable days in
Gothenborg we went by bus
through the settle landscape of
Sweden and Norway to Oslo. For
four days in Oslo we saw such
sights as the ski jump, the Viking
Ships, Fram, Town Hall, the Ron

Tiki and numerous other sites of
beauty, and were entertained at
dinner at the Canadian Embassy
by Canadian Ambassador to Nor-
way, Mr, R. A. Mackay.
Once more our eyes became ac-
customed to the beauty of the
Norwegian and Swedish landscap-
es as our bus Wok us to Stock-
holm, where we spent four days
of walking and riding through
this ancient city of the north, Of
course, since Stockholm is noted
as the Venice of the North, we
spent one afternoon in an open
boat seeing the sites which the
city had to offer. A visit to the
architectural wonder of the world,
the Stockholm Town Hall, and
VallinbY, the completely modern
subdivision, built by the Swedish
Government, were two of the
main interest points during our
stay.
Then by train from Stockholm
to our main destination, Camp
Vastgota,rean. A few minutes af-
ter arriving in camp we became
aware of the international feel-
ing, as in the opening ceremonies
the flags of each country attend-
ing the camp were marched onto
the field.
During our ten-day stay at
camp we slept in tents, ate OK(
own cooking, sang beneath the
sun and stars, and made many
lasting friendships with girls
from every country. In each
group were placed four foreign
girls with 26 Swedish Guides'.
There were three groups in each
village, and 29 villages in the
whole camp.
Our days were filled with many
international meetings where we
not only learned about Sweden in
every aspect, but also felt a new
closeness to the world of-:a peace-
ful tomorrow, For if the youth of
today can live in peace, it gives
a promise of a peaceful tomorrow.
English, Greek, German and Can-
adian girls sat side by side and
walked step by step with no feel-
ing of ill will, just the eagerness
of youth to be friends.
Another highlight of our trip
was our stay in a Swedish home.
Each Canadian girl was invited by
a family to live as a member of
that family for five days, and thus
learn without prejudice about the
Swedish people.
Our trip home was again a 10-
day boat ride. This was spent
peacefully and in pensive mood,
and vowing for better understand-
ing among people, even if this
was only found in our own family
homes, „for as many a wise man
has said, "Peace at home makes
for peace abroad". 0
