When in uniform and in ranks in public demonstration, a Girl Scout stands at attention and salutes when the Star Spangled Banner is played. But she does not salute when she herself is singing. In ordinary gatherings when the anthem is played, a Girl Scout stands at attention but does not salute. When Girl Scouts are on parade or marching in troop or patrol formation, only the officers salute, at the same time giving the command, "Eyes right," or "Eyes left," as the case may be, at which every Scout turns her eyes sharply in the direction ordered till the officer commands, "Eyes front." When repeating the Promise, a Girl Scout stands at salute. When in uniform a Girl Scout should salute her officers when speaking to them, or when being spoken to by them. If in uniform, a Girl Scout should return the salute of a Boy Scout. She does not salute the police or military officers unless they salute her first. Girl Scouts may salute each other whether they are in uniform or not. =Pledge of Allegiance.= "I pledge allegiance to the flag and to the republic for which it stands; one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Girl Scouts should stand at attention, bring the hand to the full salute at the first word of the pledge, and at the word "flag" extend the arm, fingers still in the salute position, palm up, pointing to the flag. =Parades.= Girl Scouts may take part in patriotic parades with the permission of the Local Council or Commissioner or of the Captain where there is no Local Council. SECTION XI THE SCOUT AIDE Introduction. The six following subjects, Home Economics, Child Care, First Aid, Home Nursing, Public Health, and Personal Health are grouped together, and for proficiency in all of them a special badge called "Scout Aide" is awarded. This badge will probably be regarded by the outside world as the most important decoration the Girl Scouts can win, and all Scouts who will try for it should realize that those who wear it will represent the organization in a very special sense and will be eager to prove their practical knowledge and ability in the important subjects it stands for. No young child could pretend to represent ALL this medal stands for. Any grown girl or woman should be proud to own it. Practical knowledge of Personal Health, Public Health and Child Care will add to the efficiency and happiness of this nation, and the women of today have a better chance to control these things than ever before. Home Nursing and First Aid will save lives for the nation in the two great emergencies of illness and accident.
