“If the Scout life meant nothing more to you 
• than a reasonable understanding of certain sub- 
jects, there would now be nothing more for the 
Girl Scouts to teach you ; but I am sure that your 
training has not failed in this respect, and that 
you understand now, even better than the average 
Girl Scout, that your great principles of duty to 
God and Country, helpfulness to others, and 
obedience to the Scout Laws, are lessons that no

naming you a Golden Eaglet, and in the name of 
the Girl Scouts I congratulate you heartily on 
your fine achievement.”
