at
which every Scout turns her eyes sharply in the
direction ordered till the officer commands, "Eyes
front."

When repeating the Promise, a Girl Scout stands at
salute.

When in uniform a Girl Scout should salute her
officers when speaking to them, or when being
spoken to by them.

If in uniform, a Girl Scout should return the
salute of a Boy Scout. She does not salute the
police or military officers unless they salute her
first.

Girl Scouts may salute each other whether they are
in uniform or not.

=Pledge of Allegiance.= "I pledge allegiance to
the flag and to the republic for which it stands;
one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice
for all."

Girl Scouts should stand at attention, bring the
hand to the full salute at the first word of the
pledge, and at the word "flag" extend the arm,
fingers still in the salute position, palm up,
pointing to the flag.

=Parades.= Girl Scouts may take part in patriotic
parades with the permission of the Local Council
or Commissioner or of the Captain where there is
no Local Council.

SECTION XI

THE SCOUT AIDE

Introduction.

The six following subjects, Home Economics, Child Care, First Aid, Home
Nursing, Public Health, and Personal Health are grouped together, and
for proficiency in all of them a special badge called "Scout Aide" is
awarded.

This badge will probably be regarded by the outside world as the most
important decoration the Girl Scouts can win, and all Scouts who will
try for it should realize that those who wear it will represent the
organization in a very special sense and will be eager to prove their
practical knowledge and ability in the important subjects it stands for.

No young child could pretend to represent ALL this medal stands for. Any
grown girl or woman should be proud to own it.

Practical knowledge of Personal Health, Public Health and Child Care
will add to the efficiency and happiness of this nation, and the women
of today have a better chance to control these things than ever before.

Home Nursing and First Aid will save lives for the nation in the two
great emergencies of illness and accident.
