One of the ten Scout laws is tina.
a Gifl Scout must be thrifty say
Mrs Jane Deeter Rippin, national d.
rector of Girl Scouts This means
that Scout must avoid all useless
waste of every kind, must be careful
when spending her money and mas.
always remember that she should
save every penny that she can invest
in 4 safe manner. This habit OF saw
ing. if practiced regularly in youth,
will make for better womanhood and
will also give TO the Sirl Scout a sur
plus in time Of need.
Reports coming into National Girl
Scout headquarters show that the
idea behind the governments work
and save movement appeals to Girl
Scouts. They like the Treasury Saw
inss Certificates, for they are forward
booking girls. That the investment
now of s82 LAO means the return in
January, 1925. of s1o0, with the
money meanwhile absolutely safe
guarded from loss through accident
or theft, shows Them that the certiti
cate is sound. And where are the
girls Of America whs do not have
dreams Of the days in the near fu
ture7 Some want to give present
to their mothers; some wish to save
for trip; others desire to start a
fund for educational purposes. These
are only q few Of the many reasons
prompting girls to save and to invest
now IN government securities
