SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 
a Girl Scout not to read things nor discuss things nor do 
things that could not be read nor discussed nor done 
by a Patrol all together. If you will think about this, you 
will see that it does not cut out anything that is really 
necessary, interesting or amusing. Nor does it mean 
that Scouts should never do anything except in Patrols ; 
that would be ridiculous. But if they find they could 
not do so, they had better ask themselves why. When 
there is any doubt about this higher kind of cleanliness, 
Captains and Councillors may always be asked for ad- 
vice and explanation.
