General camp life:
5. Additional notes:]

Another record of great importance and interest is the Health
Certificate shown on page 52, which should be kept on file in camp and
later in the office of the Local Council for a period of three months,
and then forwarded to the National Headquarters, Girl Scouts, Education
Department, for use in compiling a Scout Health record. If during a
Scout's stay in camp she is ill, meets with an accident or needs the
attention of a nurse in any way, the date, a note stating the trouble,
and what was done for the child, as well as her height and weight at
entrance and leaving, can be entered on the back of the certificate. The
form shown was made by the Education Department of National Headquarters
of Girl Scouts, and it is expected that it will be on sale and available
for use by all Local Councils.

Petty Cash Record

The petty cash record is an important department of record keeping. A
day book, balanced each day, should be carefully kept noting all income
and expenditures, and if much money passes through the cash box the
Director should have a petty cash bank account in order properly to care
for it.

Canteen Record

The canteen record is perhaps the most difficult as it is a combination
of a wholesale and a retail transaction and more or less involved in the
general house expenses. Not only should a record be kept of all goods
purchased at wholesale, as to quantity and price and when bill is paid,
but a record of daily sales is absolutely necessary. Canteen cash at the
end of each day should be handed over to the Director and entered in the
petty cash book.

The accompanying Cut D is a suggested form for keeping the canteen
accounts.
