She is to do her duty before anything else even if she gives up her own pleasure, safety, or comfort.

She must be prepared at any time to save life or help the injured. She should do at least one good turn to someone every day.

Thus if a Scout meets another Scout, even though a stranger to her, she may speak to her, and help her in any way she can, either to carry out the duty she is then doing or by giving her food, or as far as possible anything she may want. Like Kim a Scout should be a “Little friend to all the world.”

10. A Girl Scout Is Thrifty
This means, that a Scout avoids all useless waste of every kind; she is careful about saving every penny she can put into the bank so that she may have a surplus in time of need. She sees that food is not wasted, and that her clothing is cared for properly. The Girl Scout does not waste time. She realizes that time is the most precious thing any one of us has. The Girl Scout’s time is spent either in useful occupations or in wholesome recreation, and she tries to balance these two harmoniously.
