Book Overview
Originally published in 1913, this is a fascinating reproduction of the first American Girl Scout Handbook. Author W.J. Hoxie--a naturalist--included tips and tricks for provisioning a camp, tying knots, tending the injured, and telling time by the stars. In 1916, How Girls Can Help Their Country was adapted by Juliette Low into a newer version of the Girl Scout Handbook. The ranks of the American Girl Scouts have grown from the original eighteen members to the millions of members still active today. Through the decades, each Girl Scout has used some edition of the handbook to learn about everything from camping and first-aid, to housewifery and patriotism. Although the roles of women have changed over the years, the importance of the handbook has not. Complete with photographs and diagrams, this centennial edition serves as a reference for life in the times of the great-, great-great-, or even great-great-great-grandmothers of today's Girl Scouts.

How Girls Can Help Their Country
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a reprint copy of the old Girl Scout book. To look and read it now, it seems funny to see the directions given to our Girl Scouts. It's a fun read and great to take to troop meetings for our current Girl Scouts to read and to see how things have changed over the years. Adult Girl Scout Leaders will enjoy this book as well.

I am an adult Girl Scout and I love this book. It's so neat for those who love the GS to see how our movement began. This makes a wonderful gift for that special GS volunteer!
