| Summary |
"The Girl Scouts at Singing Sands" by Mildred A. Wirt is a children's adventure novel written in the mid-20th century. The story centers on Judy Grant and her fellow Girl Scouts from the Beaver Patrol as they embark on a summer camping trip to Pine Cone Girl Scout Camp, where they encounter a series of mysterious and thrilling events, including a ghostly cottage and secret caves. The mix of camaraderie, adventure, and elements of mystery makes this tale a compelling read for young audiences. At the start of the novel, the Beaver Patrol arrives at their camp only to discover that another troop has occupied their reserved tent. In light of the overcrowding, they temporarily settle into Calico Cottage, where strange noises and incidents suggest something uncanny is at play. Judy receives a telegram from her Aunt Mattie, indicating she is coming to stay nearby, which adds urgency to the girls' desire to uncover the truth behind the eerie happenings, including a locked cellar and the mysterious flute music heard at night. The opening sets the stage for a mix of adventure, problem-solving, and possibly supernatural encounters as the girls determine to make their camp experience one full of fun and excitement.
