uniform who attended the rally proved their willingness
to play the game of scouting. Along with these 11,000
scouts,there were a HANDFUL OF GIRLS who wanted
to join the game. It was a surprise to LORD BADEN
POWELL to see girls at the rally, wearing uniform like
boy scouts. When he asked " who are you?", they
replied " we are girl scouts!". They said they wanted to a
part in this game like their brothers. Hw tried to
persuade the girls to give up the idea, but he found
ENTHUSIASM in these young girls and DETERMINATION
to follow their brothers.

GIRLS,Lord Baden Powell
seperated the girl section of
the movement into a new
section. Also put his sister
AGNES BADEN POWELL in charge
to look after it, calling the
branch as GIRL GUIDES.Thus
was born the MOVEMENT OF
GIRLS. After BADEN POWELL ' s
marriage his wife OLAVE St.
CLAIR SOAMES also promoted
the Scout and guide
movement.

organisation that became the World
