4. Start me.
5. Have you anything for me?
9. Train order (or important military message)--give away.
13. Do you understand?

All sorts of changes may be made when the signals are committed to
memory. Flags--up for a dot and side for a dash is one of the commonest
and easiest for the beginner; or whistles--long and short blasts. Even
the hand or a hat may be substituted; coughing, stamping, and scratching
with the foot or a bit of stick. In fact endless changes may be invented
for use with this Code.

COMMANDS AND SIGNALS

_For the use of the Girl Scouts the following list of words of command
and whistle signals has been compiled._

Commands

"Fall in" (in line).
"Alert" (stand up smartly).
"Easy" (stand at ease).
"Sit easy" (sit or lie in ranks).
"Dismiss" (break off).
"Right" or "Left" (turn accordingly).
"Patrol right or patrol left" (patrol in line wheels).
"Quick march" (step off with the left foot first).
"Double" (run with arms down).
"Scouts' pace" (walk fifty paces and run fifty paces alternately).

Whistle Signals

1. One long blast means "Silence," "Alert," "Listen for next signal."

2. A succession of long slow blasts means "Go out," "Get farther away,"
or "Advance," "Extend," "Scatter."

3. A succession of quick short blasts means "Rally," "Close in," "Come
together," "Fall in."

4. Alternate short and long blasts mean "Alarm," "Look out," "Be ready,"
"Man your alarm posts."

5. Three short blasts followed by one long one from the Captain calls up
the patrol leaders.

Any whistle signal must be instantly obeyed at the double as fast as you
can run, regardless of anything you may be doing.

By previous agreement many other signals may be arranged. It all depends
on the exigencies to be met or the special order or information to be
conveyed. But these few important signals should be strictly adhered to
in all drills and exercises of Scouts. The compiler of the present
volume thinks it unwise to print the secret words so they are left for
the patrol leaders and Captain to communicate verbally.

Hand Signals

"ADVANCE"} Swing the arm from rear to front, below the shoulder.
"FORWARD"}

"RETIRE" Circle the arm above the head.

"HALT" Raise the arm to full extension above head.

"DOUBLE" The closed fist moved up and down between
your shoulder and thigh.
