“The Greatest County Fair on Earth”
August 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 2016
On behalf of the Board of Directors, employees, and all the
members of the Darke County Agricultural Society, I would like
to welcome you to the 160th Great Darke County Fair.
Our goal is to provide a wide variety of entertainment for all
fairgoers along with numerous displays, vendors, and
concessions with food that you can smell for miles.
The Board of Directors continues to work hard on updating the
look of the fairgrounds as well as giving everyone a great
experience. This year being the 160th is no exception. There
will be magic in the air, new events in front of the grandstand
and several areas updated for the 160th fair. We hope you and
your family enjoy all the many events that we offer this year.
Lastly, thank you to all the many volunteers that help, not only
during the fair, but all year round in the many areas of our fair.
It is because of you that our fair is as great as it is.
Hope you have a great 160th fair at the Great Darke County
Fair.
Sincerely,
Brian Rismiller
President
Board of Directors
Darke County Agricultural Society

values in farm, rural and suburban communities are promoted,
taught, and woven into Grange activities and events. We serve as a
safe environment for every member of the family, from newborns
to great-grandparents.
Many of our Grangers have attended meetings and events since
birth and looked forward to the time when they turned 5 and could
become a part of the Junior Grange. The Junior Grange allows
children to have fun, participate in activities, learn leadership roles
and responsibility, and make a difference in their community. At
14, young adults become members in the Subordinate Grange, with
full voting rights and the ability to hold any office at any level of
the Grange.
The friendships that you make and the experiences that you have
in Grange help you to be a more confident and outgoing person.
Through the Youth Program alone, you make lasting friendships
with others from all over the US; but more importantly, you have
the opportunity to be a leader in the Grange and the Grange allows
you to step outside your comfort zone and become more confident
in public speaking and in your ability to lead.
The Grange supports students with scholarships, provides
summer and winter camps and raises awareness about local and
national issues.
Grange members say that the lasting Friendships, the Family
environment, the opportunities for community involvement,
continuing personal growth and Leadership development, as well
as the ability to make a difference --- are all reasons to join the
Grange. GRANGERS HAVE FUN! We make Friends in our
Community, in our State and across the Nation that last a lifetime!

DARKE COUNTY FAIR HISTORICAL FACTS
On November 24, 1852, some thirty citizens from all parts of Darke County met
at the Darke County Court House in Greenville, Ohio, and organized the Darke
County Agricultural Society and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: I.
N. Gard, President; George W. Coover, Vice President; Alfred Kitchen, Treasurer; and
Noah Arnold, Secretary. This fair board also selected the following members to be
managers of the first (1853) fair: Ruben Lowry, New Madison, Ohio; W. C. Deem,
Palestine, Ohio; J. H. Martin, Greenville, Ohio; R. Gilpatrick, New Madison, Ohio; S.
Horner, Gettysburg, Ohio; and Nicholas York, Brock, Ohio.
Within a year this society had 320 members in Darke County and the first Darke
County fair was held in the “Garst Woods” on September 7th and 8th, 1853. (Note:
This woodland was located just north of Vice President George Coover’s farm house,
or on the exact spot that the Darke County Historical Society “Garst Museum” is now
located.)
The newspaper of this time named “The Mad Anthony” published in Greenville,
Ohio, had this to say about the first Darke County Fair in its issue of September 14,
1853. “On the whole the first Darke County Fair reflects great credit upon our county
of Darke, and should inspire every citizen with zeal in this cause. We anticipate
having one of the largest county fairs in 1854 that was ever held in the state of Ohio.
So, why not call it The Great Darke County Fair after this date?” No doubt this is
how our county fair was named The Great Darke County Fair.
Among the Lucy Gard Arnold papers left to her by her grandfather, I. N. Gard,
which papers are now on file at the “Garst Museum,” are the minutes of the second
Darke County Annual Fair held in the Garst Woods on September 12 and 14, 1854,
which minutes read as follows: “There was a balance of $271.00 on hand from the
1853 fair before $200.00 was received from the County Commissioners. This year
(1854) $580.00 was received from the sale of tickets at the gate, and $143.00 was
received from the sale of lumber. Our expenses were $422.00 and premiums paid
amounted to $363.00. The balance amount being carried over for the 1855 fair was
$510.00.” These minutes were signed by I. N. Gard, President, and Noah Arnold,
Secretary. In the first few years of our Darke County Fairs, the fair boards bought
new lumber each year to build fences around their fairgrounds, and then after the fairs
were over, sold this used lumber at public auction.
The “Garst Woods” fairgrounds were moved in 1858 to where “Oakwood” is now
located in the city of Greenville, Ohio, at which location the first harness racing was
held on the new race track built for this purpose. The “Oakwood” race track, in part,
is now being used for city streets in this section of the city. In 1870 the “Oakwood”
fairgrounds was moved to the present location of our fairgrounds. No Darke County
Fairs were held in the years of 1862 and 1863, due to the Civil War, and in 1949, due
to the Polio epidemic that existed at that time.

Understanding How to Place Your Bet
Conventional wisdom holds that a fan will do OK at the racetrack if he or she grabs a tip
sheet or a local newspaper and follows the picks of the pros. That may or may not be so, but it
is not nearly as much fun as making your own selections and trying to outsmart everyone also
at the track. This is the essence of pari-mutuel wagering.
Pari-mutuel means that bets by race fans go into a common pool, which is then distributed
to the winning ticket-holders after the track’s takeout is subtracted. The more fans holding a
winning ticket, the less the pay-out will be. This spawned the term “favorite”, which is used to
describe the horse that is or has taken the most money. However, favorites win only about 30
percent of the time. It behooves the bettor to study the program, which contains the racing
record of all the horses in each race, as well as the records of the jockeys, trainers and the
breeding of each horse, before making a pick.
Naturally, we’re prejudiced, but we think picking winners at the track is one of the most fun
and exciting forms of entertainment around, as long as you bet with your head, and not over it,
as they say.
Not ready to quit your day job? Those who want to minimize betting risk should stick to less
aggressive bets. Those looking to “hit the big one” usually opt for the exotic wagers, such as a
trifecta or a pick three.
All bets can be fun and profitable if managed correctly. Like playing the stock market, the
key words are money management, performance, and value. Use the section below to aid your
understanding of better terminology and rules.
And remember, never bet more than you can stand to lose.
“Straight” wagering
Win - Your horse must come in first.
Place - Your horse comes in first or second.
Show - Your horse comes in first, second or third.
Across the board - You are betting win, place and show on one ticket. You’ll collect all three
pay-outs if the horse comes in first; place and show if the horse comes in second, and show
only if the horse comes in third.
Daily Double - Your horses must come in first in two consecutive races. You place your bet
before the first of the two races - - it’s all or nothing.
Exotic wagering
Exacta - You must select the first two horses in the exact order of finish. A favorite bet because
of the potentially big payouts.
Trifecta - You must select the first three horses in the exact order of finish. It’s tough to pull off,
but in addition to a huge potential payoff you get bragging rights for the next 24 hours, as in “I
hit the trifecta!”
Superfecta - You must select the first four horses in the exact order of finish (See Trifecta for
bragging rights.)
Pick Three - You must select the correct first place finisher in each of the three races that make
up the Pick Three.
Pick Six - You must select the correct winner in the six successive races that make up the Pick
Six. The bet must be placed before the first race on the Pick Six, which is usually the third race
at Churchill Downs. As handicapper Andy Beyer says, when you hit this you get to fall on your
knees and crow: “I’m king of the world!”
How to place a bet
Step 1: State the race
Step 2: State the amount of the wager
Step 3: State the type of bet (for example, win, place or show)
Step 4: State the horse number
For example, if you want to bet $2 to win on the No. 7 horse in the fourth race, go up to the nice
pari-mutuel clerk behind the window and say, “Fourth race, two dollars to win on the No. 7
horse.” If you want to impress your friends with your grasp of the terminology simply say
“Race 4, $2 win 7.
Please Play Responsibly and Good Luck!

stage for the first time that year. ln 2014, a record of new studio tracks, “NOW”
CHICAGO XXXVI was released on Frontiers Records. It includes eleven brand new
songs, recorded on the road. Considered one of the longest running and most
successful pop/rock ‘n’ roll groups in history, Chicago is the highest charting
American band in Billboard Magazine’s list of Top 100 artists of all time, coming in
at #13. Lifetime achievements include a Grammy Award, multiple American Music
Awards, elected as Founding Artists to the John F. Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts, a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a Chicago street dedicated
in their honor, and Keys to and Proclamations from an impressive list of US cities.
Formed in 1967 in Chicago, the “legendary rock band with homs” released their first

top the 100,000,000 mark and include 21 Top 10 singles, 5 consecutive Number One

Halter classes for drafts, draft ponies, mules and donkeys will start at 9:00 a.m. The main area
will be split with separate judges for the draft division and the mules and the donkeys.
Once the Halter classes are completed after lunch we will run all performance classes together
in main arena, there will still be separate judges for each division and we hope this will allow
participants more time to hitch between classes.

goats will need to be checked.

SHOW RING PROTOCOL
FOR ABGA JUDGES
The goal of the protocol is to insure that each judge strives to provide a fair, unbiased,
objective inspection of each animal as it is presented for his/her evaluation and, in so doing,
provides for a positive experience for all individuals involved including exhibitors, spectators,
and show personnel.
As a representative of the American Boer Goat Association an ABGA Judge, through his or
her appearance, evaluations, and presentations, is to conduct him or herself in a professional
manner with show officials, exhibitors, and spectators at all times.
1. A judge is at all times to evaluate Boer goats in accordance with the ABGA Sanction Show
Rules and the ABGA Boer Goat Breed Standard, disregarding any personal preferences.
Animals should be evaluated according to the degree with which they meet the desired
traits outlined within the ABGA Breed Standard.
2. Judges are required to check the following on Boer goats presented to be judged in order to
insure these areas are correct according to the ABGA Boer Goat Breed Standard:
(a) Udder/Teat Structure on females
(b) Mouths on males and females
(c) Pigmentation on males and females
(d) Testicles on males
Recognizing the complication of time involved in judging very large classes, a judge is
allowed discretion to check only those animals retained in the show ring from which the
final selections will be made. In all classes, where practical, it is recommended that a judge
check all animals presented.
3. Judges are required to set their final placement line in numerical order, beginning with the
lowest placing animal and continuing in ascending order to the first place animal, prior to
giving reasons so that exhibitors and spectators can clearly see and understand the
placements.
Premium List - 2016
127
4. A judge shall be responsible for ensuring that the tattoos are read on the winner of each
class plus any goats in that class other than the winner that, by virtue of class size, are
eligible for points under ABGA rules including all GCH and RGCH animals before those
animals leave the ring.
5. No judge shall judge an animal that:
a. is owned partially or entirely by the judge
b. is owned partially or entirely by any member of the judge’s immediate family, which
includes children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, siblings or spouse.
c. in which the judge has any pecuniary interest
d. over which the judge has any supervision
e. it is strongly recommended that a judge refrain from knowingly judging any animal
sold by the judge within 90 days prior to the show date.

HISTORY OF THE DARKE COUNTY FAIR FLOWER SHOWS
The first garden club involvement in a fair flower show (as listed in the Darke County Fair
Premium Books) occurred in the year of 1952. The next year a theme was chosen with a
chairman from the garden clubs in charge. Artistic flower arrangements were added to the
schedule with a growing list of horticulture in 1953.
The flower department has seen seven fair board superintendents in sixty two years. Harold
Snider was superintendent in 1952, the first year. Gilbert Lease served over the department from
1954 through 1961; Ed Buchy was superintendent beginning in 1962 and ending in 1974; Doyle
Greenhoff was the superintendent from 1975 through 1980; Darryl Mehaffie was chosen as
superintendent in 1981 through 1985; Bill Rhoades served as superintendent in 1986.
Beginning in 1987, Darryl Mehaffie was chosen as superintendent until 2007; in 2008, we
welcomed Dave Niley as superintendent. Many enhancements of the flower department have
been made since the beginning.
Flower Shows began in the current Fine Arts building with one show being held on Tuesday. In
1958 it became two flower shows held on the first Saturday of the fair and the following
Wednesday. The flower show of 1954 earned the prestigious honor from The Ohio Association
of Garden Clubs, Inc. as Best County Fair Flower Show in the state of Ohio. The garden club
members over the years have worked hard to keep this honor and have obtained it numerous
times throughout the years. Having outgrown half of the Fine Arts building, the flower
department was moved to the northeast section of the basement of the coliseum in the middle
‘50’s. Educational programs were started in 1957, “in front of bleachers and over a loud speaker
system” on perennial culture, films on trees, rose culture, violet culture and flower arranging
which has continued in some form since. After the southeast area of the coliseum basement
became available the flower department was expanded to the present east half of the coliseum
basement. The exhibitors of the flower shows have always been open to Darke County residents
or members of the Darke County Association of Garden Clubs.
Over the last sixty three years, many clubs have helped in staging the flower shows. The
participating clubs of Darke County that have given of their time and effort are as follows:
Green Thumb Garden Clubs of Greenville; Redbud Garden Club of Ansonia; Petal Pushers
Garden Clubs of Pitsburg; Sunny Hours Garden Club of Greenville; Wayne Trail Garden Clubs
of Greenville; Cardinal Garden Club of Gettysburg; Chatter Garden Club of Rossburg; Arcanum
Garden Club, Arcanum; Versailles Garden Clubs, Versailles; Treaty Towne African Violet of
Greenville; Ladybug Garden Club of Greenville; Wildflower Garden Club of Greenville; Sun
and Fun Garden Club of Union City; Woodland Trails Garden Club of New Madison; Sunburst
Garden Club of Greenville; Toadstools Garden Club of Arcanum; Dew Drops Garden Club;
Nightingale Garden Club of Greenville; Garden Girls Garden Club and the Butterflies Junior
Garden Club of Greenville. Of the clubs listed, in 2013, only two adult clubs and one junior club
are currently active.
In 2014, the Saturday show saw 54 adult artistic entries with 53 junior artistic designs. The total
adult horticulture for Saturday was 809 entries and 247 in the junior division. The Wednesday
show had 59 adult artistic designs with 49 junior designs. There were 680 entries in adult
horticulture and 354 in juniors - for an overall total of 215 artistic entries and 2090 horticulture
entries. Involved were 63 adult exhibitors and 27 junior exhibitors.
In 2015, the flower department saw a change in Superintendents. The Darke County Association
of Garden Clubs welcomed the new Superintendent, Ed Erisman, who was also new to the fair
board. Everyone looks forward to working together in the coming years. The theme, Garden
Heaven, also incorporated in the invitational, which welcomed all that came to our little piece of
“heaven”. It depicted a vignette of gardeners ascending to heaven. The gardener’s legs looked to
be suspended in air. The public had many wonderful comments on the vignette and it was well
received. As always, both flower shows, Adult and Junior sections, had much participation and
all classes were well represented. All exhibitors looked forward to the flower shows in 2016.
In summary, in the past sixty three years, the Darke County Agriculture Society and exhibitors
have shown support to make the Darke County Fair Flower Show as successful as it has been
every year and plans are in place to continue the effort to be recognized as one of the top fair
flower shows in the State of Ohio.

THE FRIDAY SAMPLER
A Patchwork of Creative Ideas
August 26, 2016
9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Youth Building
Heather Jones will share her lecture, “Quilt Local: Finding
Inspiration in the Everyday.” For hundreds of years quilt
makers have been inspired by places and objects in their
everyday lives. Think of Churn Dash, Rail Fence, Flying Geese,
Log Cabin, and hundreds of other quilt patterns developed in the
past. The (mostly) women who made these quilts had a desire to
create beautiful, functional objects, and drew upon what they saw in their daily
lives as inspiration for their work. Heather Jones is honored to carry on the
tradition in her debut book, Quilt Local, featuring 40 stunning projects inspired
by country roads, cityscapes, and street signs (the landscape of her modern
existence), plus invaluable lessons on color theory and sparking creativity.
Youniques will present ideas for “Inspiration to Fall into
Fashion.” Youniques business partners, Lelah and Hala offer
their customers individualized attention. As you know, a
women's wardrobe is nothing to joke around with! The duo take
into consideration their clients' body shape and personal style to produce a "wow"
outfit. Join Youniques as they present a fashion show designed to inspire.
Cindy Spohn presents “Garnishing Inspirations to add
Flavor and Color.” Cindy has been associated with
KitchenAid Experience® since 2002 and currently teaches
select Saturday classes. She has presented classes for Farm
Bureau, Hayner Center in Troy, and numerous local
organizations. Cindy believes the best way to show concern,
caring, and love, is through the preparation and presentation of food. Presentation
of food is very important because you taste with your eyes, before your mouth.
Steve Stone, of Nature’s Green in Fort Recovery, Ohio will
present “Landscaping Tips to Inspire and Enhance.” Steve is a
graduate of The Ohio State University with a B.S. in Landscape
Horticulture and a minor in Turf Grass Management. Come and be
inspired by Steve as he shows us new ideas for home horticulture
and landscaping.

JUNIOR LIVESTOCK SALE BUYER INFORMATION
A few weeks before the fair, YOUR BUYER NUMBER that you can use for ALL SALES
will be sent to you, via USPS. You do not need to get a new number at each sale, but you MUST
tear off the appropriate completed perforated card that is attached and turn-in the buyer
registration card at the buyer registration table at each sale. Please make sure that the name and
phone number of the person doing the bidding for each appropriate sale is listed. Please make
any corrections to the business name and address as printed on the sign-in cards. If you’re a new
buyer, you can sign-up for a buyer number at the sale.
All beef, lambs, hogs, or dairy beef purchased with the buyer number on a yellow card will
be sent to the “packer” and you will be billed for the bid price only.
An invoice for all livestock purchased at the livestock sales will be sent within 10 days of the
livestock sale. Buyers will be billed on one invoice for all animals purchased and will be asked
to write one check to the Darke County Agricultural Society. Credit cards will be accepted
with a service fee. Since Exhibitors will not be paid for the animals that are sold through the
auction until all of their buyers have paid, we request that invoices be paid as soon as possible
and no later than September 30, 2016. Past Due balances will be charged 1 1/2% service fee or a
$1.00 flat fee after the 30 day period. Any outstanding balances as of December 1, 2016 will
lose Fair related privileges such as Fair Camping, Fair Box Seats, Fair Vendor privilege contract
etc. if the outstanding buyer is associated with any of these privileges. If the Darke County
Agricultural Society does not receive a buyer’s payment before December 31st of the current
year, those delinquent buyers may be announced by the Board of Directors to the local
newspapers and radio station. Delinquent buyers from any previous Junior Fair Livestock Sale
will be unable to obtain a buyer number at any future Junior Fair Livestock Sales without the
Junior Fair Livestock Sales Committee President’s consent.
Exhibitors will be informed from the Sale Committee of the name(s) and address(es) of their
buyer(s), and the amount of your purchase. Exhibitors are strongly urged by the Junior Fair
Livestock Sales Committee, the Darke County Agricultural Society, the Darke County Extension
Office, and their club advisors to send a note of thanks to all of their buyers.
If a group of buyers will be purchasing a lot jointly, a Multiple Buyer form must be
completed for each lot. The signature, buyer number and phone number of a registered buyer
must be provided at the bottom of the Multiple Buyer form before it will be accepted at the sale.
In the event that one or more of the multiple buyers does not pay for their portion within 60
days, the buyer signing the multiple buyer form will be invoiced for any outstanding amount.
JUNIOR LIVESTOCK
TAMPERING AND/OR MISREPRESENTATION
TAMPERING AND/OR MISREPRESENTATION as to breeding, age, ownership,
custody and any other irregularity in showing will be considered fraud and deception.
To maintain a high degree of confidence and integrity in the livestock shows, the agricultural
society reserves the right to disqualify any animal fitted in an unethical manner and disqualify
the exhibitor and the exhibitor’s assistants who fitted the animal involved.
Unethical fitting shall include any and all cutting or tearing of the hide, cutting or tearing
underneath the hide or removing of tissue in any attempt to alter the shape or appearance. It
shall also include attempts to disrupt or change normal dental development, dying or coloring of
hair, adding artificial tailheads, switches, polls, hair and heels, as well as any attempt to change
the conformation and degree of firmness, by administration of fluids or air internally or
externally in a liquid, solid or gaseous state. THE USE OF CLENBUTEROL AND OTHER
UNAPPROVED DRUGS IS PROHIBITED.
All exhibitors, immediate family and any other party involved in the unethical fitting and
showing of an animal, will be barred from exhibiting or showing at this fair and will forfeit all
premiums, prize money and awards won in any Junior and/or open class divisions.
SHOULD FRAUD OR DECEPTION, AND PROOF, AS DETERMINED BY THE
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY, BE DISCOVERED AFTER THE ANIMAL OR ANIMALS
HAVE BEEN SHOWN AND PRIOR TO THE SALE, such animal(s) shall not be permitted
to sell. The animals placing next in line at the show shall move up.
SHOULD A VIOLATION BE DISCOVERED AFTER SALE, all sale money shall be
returned to the buyer and the animal, carcass or carcass value shall be returned to the exhibitor.
All places in show will stand. NO animals will move up. Any carcass suspected of being
tampered with or suspect of containing drugs will be detained until the investigation is complete.
IF THE CARCASS IS CONDEMNED at the packaging plant for any reason, it shall be
grounds for disqualification in the on-foot and carcass division of the show. Additionally, all
premiums and sale money shall be forfeited and the loss of the animal be incurred by the exhibitor.
240
RULE VIOLATIONS
In the question of a rule violation, the following due process will be used: The exhibitor
and/or parties involved will be questioned by Fair officials. If it is felt a violation has occurred,
Fair officials will make recommendations to the designated committee of the Agricultural Society
which is appointed to that particular department. After the committee hears the allegations and/or
evidence, they will decide if the case should be brought before the full Board of Directors.
In the decision of allegations being brought before the Board, all parties involved will be
notified of a meeting date with all parties having the right to present their views and/or evidence.
Upon hearing the case, the Fairboard will make a ruling.
When satisfactory evidence has been obtained by the Fairboard that any of the livestock rules
have been violated, the exhibitor, a member of the exhibitor’s family, or any other person shown
to have care, custody or attendance of the animal in any way, may be banned from showing in
any future agricultural fairs. The minimum number of years for disembarment is three (3) years
before the right to a review. In case any premium shall have been awarded to animals shown in
violation of the rule, the Fairboard will require the exhibitor to refund all premiums, trophies,
awards, ribbons and sale money under each violation. Unless fraud and/or deception are
involved, all championship placings stand.
PROTESTS
Refer to the Protest Section listed under Rules and Regulations in the front of the complete
Fairbook for the procedures to file a protest.
CODE OF PRACTICES
The following describes general responsibilities of the farmer and all persons in their
authority, in the proper care and handling of animals raised for food and fiber.
• To provide food, water and care necessary to protect the health and welfare of my animals.
• To provide a safe and healthy environment for my animals, that is clean, well ventilated and
provides ample space.
• To provide a well planned disease prevention program to protect the health of my herd or
flock. This includes a strong veterinarian/client relationship.
• To use humane and sanitary methods when it becomes necessary to dispose of my animals.
• To make timely inspections of all animals to evaluate the health and to ensure that all basic
requirements are being met.
• To ensure proper handling techniques are used to eliminate any undue stress or injury when
manual manipulation is necessary.
• To provide transportation for my animals that avoids undue stress or injury caused by
overcrowding, excessive time in transit or improper handling when loading or unloading.
• The willful mistreatment of my animals or the mistreatment of any animal will not be
tolerated. In cases of mistreatment, I will notify the proper authorities.
• To make management decisions based on scientific fact and to consider the welfare of my
animals.
TESTING FOR DRUGS
The Darke County Senior Fairboard shall have the right to require the Grand and Reserve
Grand Champion animals, or any other suspect animal, to be subjected to examinations or tests
to determine if a substance has been administered to the animal to change the conformation or
temperament of the animal.

tags one animal, and the animal becomes terminal, ill, or suffers from injury that causes
animal to be destroyed, the exhibitor will need to have an official statement from a
veterinarian stating the animal is not fit to be shown at the fair. If this occurs, the exhibitor
may go before the dairy committee to obtain another Darke County ear tagged dairy market
animal.

Girl Scouts of Western Ohio
Junior Fairboard Member: Yvonne Barga
Girl Scouts in Darke County is made up of two volunteer-led Service Units who support 370
girls and 120 adult members. East (Ansonia, Bradford, North Star and Versailles) and Treaty TriSouth (Greenville, Gettysburg, Arcanum, New Madison, Pitsburg, and Union City) Service
Units are a part of the Girl Scouts of Western Ohio Council. Girl Scouts of Western Ohio is one
of the top ten largest councils in the USA and serves nearly 50,000 girls in a 32 county area
throughout western Ohio and southeast Indiana.
More than 15,000 trained volunteers work to provide services and deliver the Girl Scout
Leadership Experience to girls. There are four regional Girl Scout Centers located in Cincinnati,
Dayton, Lima and Toledo.
Any girl of school age can join in the fun within the five age levels: Daisy, Brownie, Junior,
Cadette, Senior and Ambassador. Activities vary with each level. By the time a girl is in 8th
grade, she may have already gone skiing, scuba-diving, camping, archery, horseback riding, or
even tried a high ropes challenge course. No matter what a troop tries, it’s bound to be fun for
all!
Girl Scouting is definitely more than fun and games, however, community service is a major
part of Scouting and is emphasized at all age levels in all communities.
For further information, contact Girl Scouts of Western Ohio, Buckeye Trails Regional Office
at 1-800-233-4845.

. . . SCOUTING . . .
SERVES THE COMMUNITY
The Boy Scouts of America is a ready and eager partner in every community effort to build
boys into men of character and train them for their citizenship responsibilities. Scouting is a
program in which boys of eight years and up can learn how to do things for themselves and for
other people. It is a program that develops physical fitness, self-reliance, courage, and high
ideals of service to God and Country.
These things are accomplished in partnership with the home, the school, the church and other
institutions which accept responsibility for the proper guidance and education of boys and young
men in the community. In fact, every Unit of Scouts must be sponsored by an established
institution such as a school, church or synagogue, civic, farm, labor or business organization, or
a responsible group of citizens, representative of the community as a whole.
Any established community institution may adopt all or part of the Whole Scout Family:
A Pack for Cub Scouts, 7 through 10.
A Troop for Boy Scouts, 11 through 18.
An Explorer Post, Sea Explorer Ship or Air Explorer Squadron, for young men 14 and older.
Every boy and young man within this age span in Darke County should have the opportunity
to become a Cub Scout, a Boy Scout or an Explorer. Persons interested, phone 937-278-4825 or
937-569-2059. The following websites also have information available, www.mvcbsa.com or
www.beascout.org.
