CHAPTER III
HOW TO BECOME A FIRST CLASS SCOUT
Why is a Second-Class Scout like an advertisement of Pears' Soap? Because she sees the First Class Badge within her reach if she only tries for it and "she won't be happy till she get it."
At any rate I hope she won't, because a Scout who is content to sit down and be a Second Class Scout is only a third class girl.
She won't be happy till she gets it.
It is true that when she has got her Second Class, she can go in for Proficiency Badges and cover her arm with them, but I would much rather see a Scout with the one Badge of First Class on her left arm than one with a dozen on her right.
After all the First Class tests are not so very hard.
