Helping Eagles Soar: A Brief History of Girl Scouting’s Highest Award by Jean Havens, GSHH Museum The highest girl award in Girl Scouting has changed its name often in the past 109 years. In- terestingly, the 1913 handbook, How Girls Can Help their Country, listed a British Girl Guide award, the Silver Fish, as the highest award in Girl Scouting. However, no girl in the United States ever earned this recognition. Using the Silver Fish award as a model, Juliette Low developed the first official highest award for American Girl Scouts, the Golden Eaglet of Merit, in 1916.

  • To Make Good Canadians: Girl Guiding in Indian Residential Schools

    To Make Good Canadians: Girl Guiding in Indian Residential Schools

    TO MAKE GOOD CANADIANS: GIRL GUIDING IN INDIAN RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada © Copyright by Mary Jane McCallum 2001 Canadian Studies and Native Studies M.A. Program May2002 ABSTRACT To Make Good Canadians: Girl Guiding in Indian Residential Schools Mary Jane McCallum Between 1910 and 1970, the Guide movement became active and, indeed, prolific in Indian residential, day, and hostel schools, sanatoriums, reserves and Northern communities throughout Canada. In these contexts, Guiding embraced not only twentieth century youth citizenship training schemes, but also the colonial project of making First Nations and Inuit people good citizens. But ironically, while the Guide programme endeavoured to produce moral, disciplined and patriotic girls who would be prepared to undertake home and civic responsibilities as dutiful mothers and wives, it also encouraged girls to study and imitate 'wild' Indians. This thesis will explore the ways in which Girl Guides prepared girls for citizenship, arguing that the Indian, who signified to Guides authentic adventure, primitive skills and civic duty, was a model for their training. 'Playing Indian' enabled Guides to access these 'authentic' Indian virtues. It also enabled them to deny their roles as proponents of colonialism. Acknowledgements I would like to thank a number of people who have helped me to research and write this thesis. First, I would like to thank the Munsee Delaware First Nation for their continued assistance in my post-secondary academic endeavours.
  • Lady Baden Powell Escape Room Challenge

    Lady Baden Powell Escape Room Challenge

    Lady Baden Powell Escape Room Challenge Created by Elisha Hardwick Kingston, Ontario [email protected] Welcome to the Escape Room Challenge about Lady Baden Powell. This was created as a way for girls to learn about Our World Chief Guide in a fun interactive way. These activities can be done individually or in patrols. Each girl/patrol needs a copy of the fill in answer sheet. Task 1 cut apart and mix up the timeline cards ahead of time. It works best if you have enough sets of instructions and sets of cards for each group. Task 2 Cut apart the Name that Speaker and name that Speaker Quote cards and mix up the order. It works best if you have enough sets of instructions and sets of cards for each group. Cut apart one copy of the Words of Wisdom Cards and place in various locations around the room for the girls to seek out and find the answers. Task 3 Cut apart the picture of Lady BP’s Standard (one set per group). This task will require a person who is not part of the game to read the True and False questions to the participants (ie a Leader). If you are running this as a challenge to see which team can make it to the end first….use the True/False cards at the back of this booklet. For the cards…each participant/group receives one of each. They will hold up the answer they believe is correct after it has been read. This allows each group to answer the trivia at the same time.
