Each week we’ll take a step back into the history of Great Bend through the eyes of reporters past. We’ll reacquaint you with what went into creating the Great Bend of today, and do our best to update you on what “the rest of the story” turned out to be.On Sunday, March 7,1965, the front page of the Great Bend Tribune was covered in photographs of local Girl Scouts observing the birthday of Girl Scouting (officially the date would be March 12). “In this community, we are fortunate that we can count on volunteers totaling 150 adults who make Scouting available to our daughters.”
