n department, which
has general oversight of all that pertains to training for leaders and

and direct large, self-supporting camps for girls.

_The Blue Book of Rules for Girl Scout Captains:_ All
official rules and regulations, 32 pages.

_Training Courses:_ (1) Outline for 32-period course, 17
pages. (2) Introductory course, 10 periods, 16 pages.

_Girl Scout Health Record:_ Booklet form for recording points
for health winner's badge.

_Miscellaneous Pamphlets:_ Averaging 8 pages; 128,325 copies.

_Need for leaders._--The growth in membership has been twice as rapid
among the scouts as it has among the officers, as may be seen in the
table already given. For every scout in 1918 we have 10 in 1921. For
every officer in 1918 we have but 5 in 1921. For some time to come,
therefore, the energy of the national officers must be directed toward
the securing of properly trained leaders.
