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.
She should save them as far as possible from pain, and should not kill any animal unnecessarily, not even the smallest of God's creatures.
8. A Scout Obeys Orders
of her parents, patrol leader, or Captain without question. Even if she gets an order she does not like she must do as soldiers and sailors do—she must carry it out all the same because it is her duty. After she has done it she can come and state any reasons against it; but she must carry out the order at once. That is discipline.
9. A Girl Scout is Cheerful
under all difficulties. When she gets an order she should obey it cheerily and readily, not in a slow, hang-dog sort of way, and should sing even if she dislikes it.
