In the late teens and early 1920s, when the Girl Scouts Incorporated were sending field workers across the nation to train troop leaders and establish the growing organization's reputation, girls and Boy Scouts of America Scoutmasters tackled the problem of Girl Scout training in their own way: the Scoutmasters, independently or at the request of local girls, taught the girls the basics of Boy Scout training and then wrote to national Girl Scout headquarters for help.	cache/cfr-25118.pdf	txt/cfr-25118.txt
