Joanne gave a long sigh of content. “And to think it was you, of all persons that I could have chosen, who pinned on my dear Golden Eaglet badge.”
“I am very proud of my daughter,” said Mrs. Marriott squeezing the hand she held.
Then it was time to leave and Joanne went home to give her news to her family and to find them interested in all she had to tell.
Of what went on after this it would take too long to tell, of the hikes and picnic suppers, the week ends at the lodge, of how Pablo continued a faithful helper at the farm, and how Unc’ Aaron found a bee tree for the Boy Scouts, of how Mrs. Marriott entertained the girls in her new home, all these and other things would take another book, but as Girl Scouts all over the world are doing these and similar things, each one can turn to her own happy experiences and believe they were duplicated by Joanne and her friends.
