The Girl Scout
Illustrated in Colour by N. TENISON.
This is the story of a patrol of Girl Scouts, and the service theyrendered their country. Colonel Norton announces that some silver cups,which he values as souvenirs of the time when he could win races andgymnastic competitions, have been stolen, and calls on the Boy Scouts tocatch the thief, promising, if they succeed, to furnish their club-roomin time for the reception of a neighbouring patrol. Aggie Phillips,sister of the boys' leader, hears of this, and at once organises agirls' patrol to help solve the mystery. In tracing the thief, thegirls manage to entrap two foreigners, who, in all kinds of disguises,try to get hold of valuable papers in the hands of the Colonel.Meanwhile the boys continually follow up the tracks left by the girls,or are purposely misled by Aggie. The girls win the prize but arrangeto join forces with the boys.
