"Voveraitės"

"Voveraitė" is the Lithuanian word for "little squirrel." It's also the term used to refer to young girl scouts. Think of "Cub Scouts" and "Brownies."

"Voveraitės" also refers to chanterelle mushrooms.


Schweinfurt, Germany, about 1947. A group of "Voveraitės" from the Displaced Persons camp poses in uniform.
