Rh the Great War as far as they were able, and have done it well.

There are 64,000 of them, and they are very smart, and ready for any job that may be demanded of them.

They were not raised for this special work during the war, for they began some years before it, but their motto is "Be Prepared," and it was their business to train themselves to be ready for anything that might happen, even the most unlikely thing.

Scout Orderly.

So even when war came they were "all there" and ready for it.

It is not only in Great Britain that they have been doing this, but—in Canada and Australia, West, East, and South Africa, New Zealand, the Falkland Islands, West Indies, and India. The Scouts are a vast sisterhood of girls, ready to do anything they can for their country and Empire.
