CHAPTER II
The Second Class badge is a green trefoil embroidered on a tan background, and is worn on the left sleeve above the elbow.
The occasion of awarding Second Class badges gives Scouts an opportunity to arrange a ceremony for themselves following more or less the lines of the Tenderfoot investiture.
SIGNALLING
General Service Code
The General Service Code, also called the Continental and the International Morse Code, is the code used by the Army and Navy, cables, wireless telegraphy, and all commercial communications except short distance telegraphing, within the United States. Avoid the term International Morse as both these names apply to other codes. The International code is made up of flags each one of which stands for a letter or other signal, and the Morse is used of the American Morse or telegraph alphabet. There is Visual signalling by hand flag torches, lanterns, etc.; and Sound signalling with buzzer, whistle, drum, etc.
Signalling by Single Flag, or Wig-wagging
The flag used is square with a smaller square of another color in the center. It may be either white with the smaller square red, or red with white. A good size for Girl Scouts to use is 24 inches square with the center 8 inches square, and the pole 42 inches long.
There are but three motions to make with the flag, and all start from POSITION, which means that the signaller stands erect facing the person with whom she is communicating holding the flag perpendicularly in front of her.
