our society. We should be as dependable as the blue of the sky.
A GIRL SCOUT’S HONOR IS TO BE TRUSTED.

Junior Scout 7 Yellow Candle - I am lighting a yellow candle. YELLOW is a symbol of loyalty, strength

to all. It reminds us of our duty to be considerate and caring of
others. A Girl Scout knows when somebody is in danger and
helps.

Junior Scout 9 Pink Candle - I am lighting a pink candle. Watching the PINK in the changing sky at
sunrise and at sunset gives us a sense of peace and reminds us
to be friendly and helpful to everyone. A Girl Scout should know
whom to trust as a friend and should be trusted as a friend, too.

A GIRL SCOUT IS A FRIEND TO ALL AND A SISTER TO EVERY

OTHER GIRL SCOUT.

Junior Scout 10 Gold Candle - I am lighting a gold candle. GOLD represent the sun’s rays. They shine on
everyone regardless of color creed or race. This is how Girl
Scouts should be courteous. They are like the sun’s rays, ever
grateful and cordial, following our social code of ethics.

A GIRL SCOUT IS COURTEOUS.

Junior Scout 11 Brown Candle - I am lighting the brown candle. BROWN makes us think of the color of
the earth and makes us think of the color of the earth and make

improve to keep out Planet Earth healthy. A Girl Scout knows
that she should not abuse or misuse her environment.

experience to use as her resource in everyday life.

Junior Scout 14 Red Candle - I am lighting a red candle. RED is the color of fire, we must use fire with
great care, just as we must be thrifty with all our resources. Red
is the color of wealth and abundance. Girl Scouts save for a rainy
day. Girl Scouts know when to spend and not to spend material
 wealth.
