How Girls Can Help Their Country

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.
