Scouts and Brownies are very often employed as messengers and have done very good work. That is why so many of them have won War Service badges in the Great War. And the reason they are used is because they remember what is told them, carry it in their heads and deliver it properly. A Brownie learns her message by heart as soon as it is given to her, and repeats it to the person who gives it; then she keeps on repeating it while she goes along, and remembers that all the time she is going she is on duty, and therefore it is her business not to stop and loiter and look at other things, but to get her duty done. In this way her attention fixed on her work she can always deliver her message at the end of the journey quite correctly as she got it in the first instance.
