A Girl Guide Garden

• How to you get a Girl Guide group going?
• Answer: You plant one.
• First, plant five rows of Peas:
  1. Prepareness
  2. Promptness
  3. Perseverance
  4. Politeness
  5. Praise
• Then, plant five rows of Lettuce:
  1. Let us be open
  2. Let us be honest
  3. Let us be understanding
  4. Let us be unselfish
  5. Let us help one another
• Next to them, plant four rows of Squash:
  1. Squash indifference
  2. Squash negativism
  3. Squash intolerance
  4. Squash complacency
• No garden is complete without Turnips:
  1. Turn up for meetings
  2. Turn up with determination
  3. Turn up with a new idea

But without many hours of work and care no troop can grow. Without the help of every member, the Girl Guide 'garden' will turn to weeds:

• Don't wait to be asked---ask for it!
• Don't say I can't---do it!
• Don't wait for someone else---be first!

Build the soil, pull the weeds, and reap the harvest.
