time to volunteer their serv
ices as leaders, troop commit
tee members, board members
and just plain workers.
"Mothers as Scout leaders
are able to guide not only
their own, but other girls in
the ways of scouting to help
them become wise, free-thinking
and good citizens of to
morrow. "As we meditate on our
promise and laws and inte
grate them into our daily liv
ing, we find strength and
wisdom to lead Scouts on the
wider vistas in life. It we live
up to our promise "On my
honor, I will try to do my
duty to God and my country,
to help other people at all
times and to obey the Girl
Scout laws, scouting will be
a strong force for freedom
and a better America."
