(AP)-A battle for equality has ended with a troop of Girl Scouts hoisting the flag at Fort Mackinac. For the first time in 40 years a Girl Scout unit relieved Boy Scouts for a week of marching, doing chores and patrolling the historic grounds. "Girls are equal. We don't look like boys, but we can do the same duties," said 15-year-old Julie Renken, senior patrol leader of Ann Arbor Cadette Troop No. 464.

Doris Ponitz of Ann Arbor, adult leader of the Girl Scout unit, said the young women practiced marching despite the rain Saturday to make sure Sundays flag-raising ceremonies went smoothly. "Things went so well that I really had a lump in my throat," she jsaid. Since 1934, Boy Scout troops have alternated the weekly summer duties on the island in Lake Huron.
