GIRL SCOUTS.
A UNIQUE TROOP.
[BT TELEGRAPH.— CORRESPONDENT.]
Christchurch, Saturday. Miss Muriel Cossgrove has . interested a number of the Rangiora High School girls in the girl scout movement, and on Wednesday 14 of them were addressed by Major Cossgrove on the aims and objects of the : scheme as applied to girls. He dwelt at considerable length on the bene-, fits the girls themselves would obtain by becoming scouts, saying that their health would improve, they would become selfreliant, observant, courageous, and independent, and the training would fit them for any position they might be called upon to fill in after life. Their encouragement of everything that was good, and their discountenancing everything that was bad, would in time,have a marked effect upon other young people. At the dose of the address two patrols were sworn in. It is expected that another patrol will be formed soon, and will completA>robably the first troop of girl scouts in the Dominion.
