Among the subjects Citizen Scouts may take up are nursing, child nursing, wood working, metal working, design, interior decoration, stenographer, typewriting, journalism, telegraphy, dress-design, dressmaking, salesmanship, cooking, marketing, farming, gardening, and all varieties of trades.

Groups of Citizen Scouts would find much pleasure and profit, if they would undertake some quite different line from their daily occupation such as basket making, modeling, pottery, book-binding, upholstery, or any other branch of industrial or fine arts.

If a troop of Citizen Scouts wishes to study industrial problems in their own trade or trades where other girls are employed, meetings may be arranged between the groups of girls in the different occupations. A sympathetic understanding of others needs will tend to create a better social stability. Self perfection and vocational advancement need not necessarily lead to selfishness and fancied superiority. In these discussions or debates outsiders may be invited to take part. A successful business woman might come to give her experience and help in the discussion. A troop scrap book of clippings from newspapers and magazines showing what is going on in the industrial world will be of interest.

Each Citizen Scout troop should when possible, take up some definite form of public service. When such group work is not possible, each individual can find real public service opportunities open in any number of fields.
