SECTION VI

FORMS FOR SCOUT CEREMONIES

1. ENROLLMENT

Before a girl may become enrolled as a regular Girl Scout she must be at
least ten years old, and must have attended the meetings of a Troop for
at least a month, during which time she must have passed her Tenderfoot
Test. The Captain must have prepared the candidate for enrollment by
explaining the meaning of the Promise and the Laws and making sure that
she fully understands the meaning of the oath she is about to make, and
that she also comprehends the meaning of "honor." The following is a
convenient form for enrollments.

(1) The Scouts stand in the form of a horseshoe
with the officer who is to enroll at the open
side, facing Scouts.

(2) Officer addresses troops on the subject of
what it means to be a Scout.

(3) Patrol Leader brings candidate to officer and
salutes and returns to place.

(4) Officer addresses candidate in low tone: "What
does your honor mean?"

Candidate answers.

Officer: "Will you on your honor, try: To do your
duty to God and to your Country; to help other
people at all times; to obey the Scout Laws?"

Candidate and officer both salute as candidate
