GOOD SCOUT 

1953

Ever since she won a Burbank beauty contest (and subsequently landed a Metro movie pact) Debbie Reynolds has been actively "working at" stardom. And though she'd admittedly rather be out twirling a baton or playing football with local huskies, she still plugs away at singing and dancing lessons to keep on her toes. Debbie's abounding energy spills over into private life, too.

A Girl Scout ever since she was ten, she was once camp bugler, still finds the time to sell Girl Scout cookies during their annual campaign. The Burbank Girl Scout camp, where these pix were snapped, sees her pretty face for a week once yearly, has heaped her with 42 different badges of merit (including one for baking and cooking). And though she was genuinely thrilled when she graduated to senior counselor, she was equally awed when the Boy Scouts made her an honorary tenderfoot.

"Windy", as the other gals dubbed chatterbox Debbie, financed the building of the camp's Little Theatre, and will give a benefit to buy more equipment.
