Liberty bond

Each girl signed the food conservation card sent out to the Girl Scouts, pledging themselves to give up meat one day a week and bread one meal a day, living up to the slogan, Every Scout to Feed a Soldier.

The girls distributed the Liberty Loan literature, took in Liberty Loan subscriptions, besides taking a $50 bond in the name of the troupe, quite a number of the members owning their own bonds besides.

To pay for this bond, each girl pledged a dollar, either working for it or denying themselves some pleasure in order to make it up, thus learning the lesson of thrift.

besides all this outside work in the eight months of the troop's existence the girls have taken several hikes each fifteen miles long have given a demonstration drill in hollidaysburg by request and have passed their tenderfoot test of fifty questions Through the kindness of Dr. Layton, superintendent of the Altoona Schools and the Altoona School Board, the Girl Scouts are taking up the high school junior year domestic science course.

twenty-seven school girl scouts of washington have been trained as home demonstrators and have pledged their saturdays and holidays to the work of demonstrating canning methods and war cookery in clubs churches schools etc

mr hoover himself approved a special girl scout pledge card whereby candy and soda water were cheerfully and solemnly laid on the sacrificial altar
