The 135 acre
wooded land across from the Macy Center in New York, was donated to Girl
Scouts in memory of Andree Clark, by her parents Senator
William and Mrs. Clark in 1920. The site was used to develop new programs for
Senior Girl Scouts.
In 1937, the
Silver Jubilee was held there. Girl Scouts and Girl Guides from all around the
world attended. A special pin was designed for the event - shown below.
For awhile
the camp was used as a council camp, but in 1979 it once again became a
national Girl Scout site. Adults and girls from all over attend programs at
Camp Andree Clark.
