The ideals and objectives of Girl Scouting are similar to those desired by all organizations in the modern community which have to do with girls and boys--to provide each Girl Scout with opportunities for wholesome recreation and the discovery of hobbles that be of lifelong interest to her; help may, each girl develop as an individual, and learn to get along with people; to give each girl the opportunity and the desire to be of service to others, and to develop qualities that will make her a good citizen in a changing society; to help each girl acquire worth -while attitudes and ideals and high standards of behaviour.

Your contribution to the Community Welfare Federation will help to broaden the horizons of many girls, and inculcate character -building principles to better aid them in taking over the task of tomorrow.
