Background to guiding

Lord Baden Powell was a soldier in Africa. He saw how  reliable and helpful the boy cadets were. He had successfully ran a camp for boys at Brownsea island in 1907. A rally at Crystal Palace, London was participated by 11000 boy scouts and some girls who called      themselves girl scouts. In 1910, Lord Baden Powell asked her sister to organize the girls. Girl Guide was named after the brave Indian soldiers and the guides of Switzerland. Brownies (9 - 12 years old) and Rangers (16 - 18 years old) were started in 1914 and 1916 respectively. Lady Olave Baden Powell was awarded a title - World Chief Guide.    Thinking Day is celebrated every year since 1932.
