Girl Guides

She then founded the Girl Guide organization.

In America, in March 1912, The first patrols of girl guides were enrolled by Miss Juliet Lowe in Savannah, Georgia, In 1913, the national headquarters were established by her in Washington, D.C.,

and Miss Edith Johnston became the national secretary.

The name Girl Guides was then changed to Girl Scouts because the object of the organization is to promote the Ten Scout laws, truth, loyalty, helpfulness, friendliness, courtesy, kindness, obedience, cheerfulness, purity, and thrift.

The movement then grew and spread in a remarkable way.

In 1915, a convention of Girl Scout leaders from most of the large cities was held, and a National Council was formed, composed of delegates from the cities or communities where more than 100 Girl Scouts were enrolled.

In 509 cities and towns of the United States, trim khaki-clad girls have become familiar figures in every community demonstration.

Through their scout activities, through participation in the actual business of life, cut down to the capacity of youth, these girls are being trained for citizenship in a school of service, a school that stresses the rights of the individual less than his responsibilities.

Girl Scouts are the American outgrowth of the Girl Guides of England.

Amazing.

Now, are your kids still in the Girl Guides? Yeah, my youngest is,

but they're in Rangers now.

So like one of the oldest groups and the kids I work with are guides age nine to 11, which is the perfect age because they can sort of do things for themselves and they're, but they're gaining those little personalities and you can really learn so much about them when you go camping and spend a lot of time with them.

Elizabeth did not like it because it was big and cold.

When she was eleven, she joined the Girl Guides.

She enjoyed being a guide.

Elizabeth on the right with the other girl guys.

Yeah.

And I'm a great believer in, you know, having those things ready and being prepared, even though I was only in the Girl Guides for, like, two weeks because I couldn't cope.

I managed brownies for about a similar time and thought, I don't like this.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

When I was in the Girl Guides, I'd always started getting those looks from the other girls of, like, You know, the mean girl look.

Yeah.

We'll have different bins for different things.

We've had a local, or actually our Pineview Girl Guides have volunteered to clean up all the bottles and deal with the recycling of that.

Oh,

nice.

And I think there was an incident as well.

Do you remember that Girl Guides gigs? They do them at Wembley Arena.

And...

Yeah, I remember we did this Girl Guides gig and it was us and Girls Aloud and all those bands from around that time.

And what they do is that all the Girl Guides from the UK would come down and you'd do a matinee show.

So it was like 18,000 screaming Girl Guides and then you'd do a show in the evening.

So similar to the Smash It tour sort of thing.

It'd be like that and loads of different acts would go on.

Remember Sunday two years ago, three years ago, can't remember, and I'm just wa- walking past a local parish church, and there's, there's, uh, they're doing a parade, and there's this, I think, air training corps, and it was girls and boys of 12, 13, 14, and they're all dressed up in their gear, and they've got their boots on.

And I thought to myself, even with the, the Cubs and the Scouts and the Boys' Brigade and even the Girl Guides, there's a, there's a m- there's a measure of indoctrination and militarization.

But with army cadets, air force cadets, naval cadets, the, it is definitely indoctrination.

Uh, we need the army, we need the air force, we need the navy, but I think, th- I do believe that teenage girls and boys, young teens are in many ways being groomed because you have a state which has a armed forces which is a fraction the size it used to be, which is now telling us that we're gonna be fighting wars very soon.
