Best Answer

Because he thinks he can never force Scout to leave without him taking Scout home himself, if he does take her home he will miss Bob Ewell's testimony, plus Scout will insist to stay anyway (being an inquisitive girl she is) , so he has no other choice but to let Scout stay and tell Rev. Sykes that she's only 9 years old and therefore won't understand what's going on anyway; particularly the profanity and cussing by the Ewells.

Jem tells Reverend Sykes it's okay for Scout to stay in the courtroom because Miss Maudie assured him that Scout wouldn't understand what was happening. He trusts Miss Maudie's judgment and believes Scout's presence won't be harmful.

What is the Girl Scout promise?

The Girl Scout Promise is what some people might also call an oath, pledge, or creed. For members of GSUSA the Girl Scout Promise is: On my honor, I will try: To serve God and my country, To help people at all times, and To live by the Girl Scout Law. Other Girl Scout and Girl Guide organizations in other countries have their own promise. See related links for a link to the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts member organizations page. * The word "God" can be interpreted in a number of ways, depending on one's spiritual beliefs. When reciting the Girl Scout Promise, it is okay to replace the word "God" with whatever word your spiritual beliefs dictate.
