3. A Scout’s Duty is to be Useful and to Help Others.
She is to do her duty before anything else, even though she gives up her own pleasure, or comfort, or safety to do it. When in difficulty to know which of two things to do, she must ask herself, “Which is my duty?”—that is, “Which is best for other people?”—and do that one. She must Be Prepared at any time to save life and to help injured persons. And she should do at least one good turn to somebody every day.
4. A Scout is a Friend to All, and a Sister to Every Other Scout.
Thus, if a Scout meets another Scout, even though a stranger to her, she may speak to her, and help her in any way that she can, either to carry out the duty she is then doing, or by giving her food, or, as far as possible, anything that she may be in want of. A Scout must never be a SNOB. A snob is one who looks down upon another because she is poorer, or who is poor and resents another because she is rich. A Scout is like Kim—“Little friend to all the world.”
5. A Scout is Courteous—
that is, she is polite to all—but especially to old people and invalids, cripples, etc. And she must not take any reward for being helpful or courteous.
6. A Girl Scout Keeps Herself Pure. She is Clean in Word, in Thought, in Deed.
She is strong enough in her mind to be above talking or listening to dirty subjects. She keeps herself pure, clean-minded, and womanly.
7. A Scout is a Friend to Animals.
