In many places the leaders of Scout troops have felt the need of more training for the work they were doing with their girls, and so Training Schools have been established, or classes have been organized under the auspices of a local Council. In some cases regular troops of older girls have been organized for the purpose of training them to be Girl Scout leaders. Such "Officers' Training Troops" offer excellent opportunities for girls to learn all the Scout practices and activities, and at the same time how to manage troops, by the best possible method—that of actually doing it.

Discipline

In training yourself to be an officer you will recognise that in order to command obedience you have yourself to understand how to obey. It is only by practising your own self-discipline that you will see how to develop it in others.

Responsibility

As an officer you will be a responsible person in authority. You will not have others to turn to for instruction, you will have to devise your own plans and to put them into action for yourself. You will be trusted and expected to do these things.
