At the command “Dress” whether to right or left, 
all Scouts place the left hand on the hip. Each Scout, 
except the base file, Scout on right or left end from whom 
the others take their alignment, when on or near the new 
line, executes “Eyes Right!” and taking steps of two or 
three inches, places herself so that her right arm rests 
lightly against the arm of the Scout on her right, and so 
that her eyes and shoulders are in line with those of the 
Scout on her right; the rear rank Scouts cover in file. 
The instructor verifies the alignment of both ranks from 
the right flank and orders up or back such Scouts as may 
be in rear or in advance of the line: only the Scouts 
designated move.
