"Children sometimes ask, "What was it like in the old days?" Many answers can be found in this first Girl Scout Handbook used by the great-grandmothers of today's Girl Scouts, who pioneered the excitement and experience of Girl Scouting. ..... It is a complete, unedited copy of the first of many handbooks used to guide the rapid growth of the movement from the original eighteen members to the millions of members today."
