Our Girl Scout Camp had six units with 20-40 girls in each. Each camper and college-age counselor/leader was given a nickname at the start of their visit; one of the Unit Two leaders was a redhead from Australia and used the nickname Kiwi. My memory can still hear Kiwi's loud, accented voice calling us to assembly: "UNIT TWO! UNIT TWO!"
Another of my unit's leaders taught our group the Phi Mu fraternity songbook tune "Picture A Girl", with the renamed title "Picture A Camp" and re-worked lyrics, to sing at the final night's whole camp fireside performances. As we spelled-out the name of our camp each letter indicated something funny/memorable about our camp experience, for instance: C is for Canoeing, A is for Archery and Australia, M is for Mud because it rained, P is for swimming in the Pool, E is for Eating good foods, and so on. Although I do not recall the name of that Phi Mu leader, she had brown hair and played the guitar as she taught us the Phi Mu tune.
