The widening horizons of Brownie Scouts can serve as a springboard for classroom learnings.

Why not eight Girl Scout councils are chartered to sen·c girls from seven throuj!;h seventeen. If Girl Scouting did not start until eight. parents might ask, "\\l1y buy a uniform for just oue year?

II ·' trulninl( advh er i.o the r~.,Onlld o,~>·"t"""'· ~~ ·-· True delegation depends on girls' readiness for responsibility and leaders' willingness "to let go" giving them a frame \\ithin which to work, encouraging them to think a little beyond their present attainments, and insming that each voice will be heard. Organizing involves establishing \VOrkable groups, delegating responsibility and authority, and integrating relationships. How pelfectly the patrol system applies: groups of five to eight girls, each led by one of its own members and each 1·epresented on the Court of Honor, the troop's planning group. Of course, the discerning leader will not let the pah·ols degenerate to the mere handling of mechanics nor venture beyond their depth in decision-making. Time spent by the h·oop leader in h·aining patrol leaders, scribe, and treasurer for their jobs pays real dividends in terms of sharing troop management. True delegation to the patrol leaders is contingent on the readiness of the girls to assume responsibility and on the willingness of the leader to loosen her grasp. Motir:ating. In Girl Scouting, this means "inspiring the girls to highest endeavor." But it is more than that much more. The leader must be sme that she listens to the girls on all matters that affect them, Co-ordinating the many facets of the troop work is an other leadership skill. This involves balancing girl lead ership with a counterb-alance of adult judgment, and gearing the v:u·ious activities so that they will reinforce rather tha11 compete with one another. Only the most experienced troop members can stand apart and see the whole gamut of intemal plans, short-range and long range projects, neighborhood and council-wide events. and eommunitv activities. The leader and her assistant, however, can keep the whole picture in focus, calling on the help of members of the neighborhood service team for direction and on the troop committee and the parents of the girls for support. Controlling. In Girl Scouting. this skill is used as a means of guiding things in the direction they are in tended to go rather than as controlling people. It is a very positive form of leadership. With the Court of Honor, the leader helps determine the plans for the troop. Periodically, the Court of Honor must check to observe whether or not the troop is keeping to its course. If it deviates too much, the decision must be made whether the girls should take steps to get back to the plans, or to evaluate and make changes in plans. T he leader who spreads herself thin and tries to do all the work involved in managing the troop will not only find the job insmmonntable, but will dep1ive the girls of the citizenship training they deserve. The leader should concern herself with sparking interest, guiding ~e girls along the way, and standing by to be sure that "all is well" THE E:\'D 13 By Betty Crandall A town and its heritage Girl Scouts of a former lone-troop community C It isn't the '\etherbnds: it isn't Ilolbnd, ~lichi g.m.
