8. Cook so that it may be eaten, seasoning
properly, one simple dish, such as cereal,
vegetables, meat, fish or eggs in any other form
than boiled.
9. Set a table correctly for a meal of two
courses.
10. Make ordinary and hospital bed, and show how
to air them.
11. Present samples of seaming, hemming, darning,
and either knitting or crocheting, and press out a
Scout uniform, as sample of ironing.
Health
12. Demonstrate the way to stop bleeding, remove
speck from eye, treat ivy poisoning, bandage a
sprained ankle, remove a splinter.
13. What do you consider the main points to
remember about Health?
(Note: This is based on a knowledge of the section
in the Handbook on Personal Health. It is
suggested that a good way to demonstrate
practically a knowledge of the main points is to
keep for a month the Daily Health Record. This
will incidentally complete one-third of the
requirement for Health Winner's Badge.)
14. What are your height and weight, and how do
they compare with the standard?
Helpfulness
15. Present to Captain or Council the proof of
satisfactory service to Troop, Church or
Community.
16. Earn or save enough money for some part of
personal or troop equipment.
Recommended: Practice Setting-up Exercises and Second Class Drill.
III. First Class Test
Work on this test should not be hurried. It is purposely made more
thorough and more difficult, because it is designed for the older and
longer trained Scout. The work for the Merit Badges, which all Scouts
enjoy, should not be considered as interfering with this period, as such
work is also the preparation for a possible Golden Eaglet degree. As a
general rule, girls under fifteen are not likely to make thoroughly
trained First Class Scouts, nor is the community likely to take their
technical ability in the important subjects very seriously. The First
Class Scout is the ideal Scout, of whom the organization has every right
to feel proud; and ability to grasp a subject quickly and memorize
details is not so important as practical efficiency, reliability and
demonstrated usefulness to the Troop and the community. While the
standard must not be set so high as to discourage the average girl,
impatience to get through in any given time should not be encouraged, as
this is not important.
First Class Scout Test
