Schweinfurt, Germany, about 1947. Young and adult scouts appear in this photo. My Dad's twin sister, Jonė, stands fourth from left. The girl on the left holds a flag that appears to have an image of a squirrel, likely the symbol of the Voveraitės.

Some were young adults, and some were little squirrels.

"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.
