Edward took Hilda to Raven Leader.

Raven Leader: "Hilda! There you are."

Edward: "Raven Leader... Hilda has something to tell you, and it might make you sad."

Raven Leader: "What is it?"

Hilda took a deep breath, and told the truth.

Hilda: (Sad Voice) "I don't like being in the Sparrow Scouts anymore. It's just a waste of my time, and is too babyish. I don't like getting badges.  It's too stressful, and it's a lot of work. It's not worth it. I don't like going on camping trips, or doing scout activities either, and I've always felt like a snob."

Raven Leader didn't know what to say. She felt sad for Hilda.

Hilda: (Sad Voice) "I'm sorry, Raven Leader, but... I can no longer declare myself... as a Sparrow Scout."

Hilda handed her uniform and scout hat to Raven Leader. She then hopped back into Edward's cab.

Edward: "I know it's sad, but Hilda kept this secret ever since her very first Sparrow Scout meeting. It's too much for her. I hope you understand, old friend."

And with that, Edward puffed away. Leaving Raven Leader looking at Hilda's uniform.

Raven Leader: (Sad Voice) "I'll miss you, Hilda."
