The elder, after receiving special training from army's officers, were used as trainers of the recruits and courriers of the General Army Staff. The younger Scouts served as corpsmen in Athens' hospitals, nurses's aides, storekeepers, even general aides to the injured. The elder were even named corporals, with a right to bear the corresponding insignia on their scout uniform.
