SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 
Honor, the Eaglet’s troop ahd the Color Guard form a 
hollow squaie, with the Captain at her post three paces 
in front of the Troop, the Lieutenant at her post “center 
and rear” of the Troop. The ceremony should be re- 
hearsed wherever possible, so that all action and form 
shall be as smart as possible. 
1. The Court of Honor enters and takes its place 
at right angles to the assembled guests. 
2. The Captain enters, takes post, and gives all com- 
mands. 
3. The Color Guard (bearer of the American flag, 
bearer of the Troop flag, and two guards) followed by 
Troop to which the Eaglet belongs, enter and march two 
paces in front of the Court of Honor. The lieutenant is 
at the left of the leading file. The Troop marches in 
single file, by twos or in Squad formation according to 
the number, and the space available. 
When the Troop is very large, or the space restricted, 
the Eaglet’s Patrol may take the place of the Troop. As 
the Colors pass, the Court of Honor should rise, stand 
at attention, and if Scouts, salute. 
4. When the Color Guard at the head of the column 
has passed the Court of Honor, the command “Column 
left, MARCH !” is given. When the last file has com- 
pleted the movement, the following commands are given : 
(1) “Scouts, HALT!” 
(2) “Left, FACE,” or 
“Squads, left, MARCH, Squads, HALT,” ac- 
cording to the formation of the column. 
(3) “Right, DRESS, FRONT!” 
5. At the command “Left, FACE,” or “Squads left, 
MARCH, Squads HALT,” the Color Guard makes a left 
turn, marches forward until on a line with the Court of 
Honor, again makes a left turn, immediately halts and 
grounds flags.
