  • The History of the Scout Wood Badge
    The set of six wood beads belonging to Robert Baden-Powell The history of the Scout Wood Badge The Scouts (UK) Heritage Service December 2018 Since September 1919 adult volunteers in the Scouts have been awarded the Wood Badge on the completion of their leader training. The basic badge is made up of two wooden beads worn at the end of a leather lace. This iconic symbol of Scouting has become shrouded in myths and its origins and development confused. Having completed extensive research using the Scouts (UK) heritage collection we have pieced together the story. The components of the Wood Badge: The Wood Badge’s design took inspiration from a necklace brought back from Africa by Scouting’s Founder, Robert Baden-Powell. In 1888 Baden-Powell was serving with the British Army in Africa. During this period Baden-Powell visited an abandoned camp where Chief Dinizulu, a local chief had been based. In 1925 Baden-Powell recalled what he found, ’In the hut, which had been put up for Dinizulu to live in, I found among other things his necklace of wooden beads. I had in my possession a photograph of him taken a few months beforehand in which he was shown wearing this necklace round his neck and one shoulder.’1 Assuming the necklace was the same one as in the photo Baden-Powell took the necklace as a souvenir of the campaign and always referred to it as Dinizulu’s necklace. Baden- 1 How I obtained the necklace of Dinizulu, told by the Chief Scout, 1925 – the Baden-Powell papers Powell admired Dinizulu describing him as “full of resources, energy and pluck,” characteristics which he would later call upon Scouts to develop.

  • 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.

    World Scout Foundation Annual Report 2014 The boy with the tiger The boy with the tiger Benjamin sat in the corner, a lonely 12 year old, with a tight grip As the Casa Alianza Scout Tropa 31 got ready for a new trip, on his only personal possession – a toy tiger … Benjamin looked on, not with the usual fear, but with a sense of curiosity. Maria Antonia could see something in this new kid – from time to time, she could see a sparkle in his eyes, but in the past two Benjamin timidly asked Maria Antonia “How can I be like weeks he had been distant from everyone. them?” … Looking at the forty Scouts, in uniform, working in patrols gathering their kit together – it wasn’t like a usual Maria Antonia is the “Educadora” (house-mother) in Casa Alianza. day in Casa Alianza. Today, this was different … these Scouts An outreach project in Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras. seemed different somehow … Benjamin had told her he was there “because my family is too “Why not join us this weekend?” she asked poor to keep me” … (in fact his young life was scarred by abuse and neglect, until finally he ended up here). “Could I? ... Will they take my stuff?” he whispered with fearful eyes, holding his tiger even tighter … but really hoping But today seemed different.

  • WA Centenary Challenge
    From the State Team As we begin the celebrations for the 100th year of Girl Guides Western Australia, we have been wondering what those early Guides and their Leaders would think about Guiding in the 21st century. They would probably be amazed by the use of technology, possibly shocked by girls and young women in trousers or shorts and hopefully reassured by the continued focus on the fundamental principles in our programs. If only Dr Who was real so we could send a TARDIS to bring them into the future to have a look or go back ourselves and thank those early pioneers. The Centenary Challenge has been developed by Ellen Walker from Brookton with input from a number of Leaders and friends. The information contained in this resource is a valuable series of snapshots of how Guiding and the world have changed over each decade and the research that has gone into each section is considerable. It is fascinating to see what has been achieved and at the same time to realise how important aspects have remained constant. However, the real benefits of the package will only be appreciated by trying the challenges yourselves and learning firsthand about our history. One of the issues about celebrating an anniversary is being able to access information and materials from previous times. So while you are looking back, try to remember those who will be doing the research for our Bicentenary in 2115. Keep records of your challenge activities in logbooks, scrapbooks or computer files. Take lots of photos and video clips, making sure that everyone in them is identified by name and include the date and location of the activity.
