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.

  • 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.

    Canadian Guiding Badges And Insignia Guides 4: Guides Introduction In 1909, a small group of girls attended a rally of Scouts at the Crystal Palace. There were by then several groups of girls who had gathered to “play the game of Scouting”. Scouting had sprung up in England after 1907, and Robert Baden-Powell wanted to get an idea of how the program he had started was growing. To his surprise these girls attended the rally, and they told him that they wanted to be Scouts too. B-P had not envisioned a co-ed program, but acknowledged that a parallel organization for girls was justified. He asked his sister Agnes to assist him in setting up something for the girls. His opinion was that the girls should not be called Scouts and suggested they be called Guides instead. Until about 1918 they were known as Baden-Powell Girl Guides [which is why early enrolment pins show BPGG]. For many years Guiding in Canada followed the British program, using the same badges. The Canadian Girl Guides Association developed distinctive enrolment pins long before it took responsibility for its badge program. As late as 1939 the British POR was used, subject to some changes in requirements for badges which reflected the Canadian experience (e.g. different birds to be identified for the Bird Lover badge). From 1936 supplements to the British PORs listed Canadian-specific rules and procedures, but the British badge designs were still in use. In 1941, an all-Canadian POR was published and the Canadian badge designs began to diverge from the British.

  • Olave Baden-Powell, Eileen K
    Fact Sheet The Three Baden-Powells: Robert, Agnes and Olave This is the story, very briefly told, of three remarkable people. Robert Baden-Powell started the Boy Scouts. His sister, Agnes, helped him organize a similar movement for girls, the Girl Guides. Olave spent her life, after her marriage to Robert, promoting Guiding and Scouting. Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell Robert, later known affectionately as B-P, was born in London, England, on February 22, 1857. His father, the Reverend Powell, a science professor at Oxford University, spent a great deal of time with his large family of six sons and a daughter, taking them for walks in the park, teaching them at home and reading aloud to them. He died when Robert was just three, leaving his wife, Henrietta, to raise the family alone. She was a remarkable woman who excelled in music, art, languages, literature, science and mathematics. Her interests led her to establish a scheme of a high school education for girls. The family had many friends who influenced Robert. His older brothers taught him to handle a boat, to camp and to cook. He went to a boarding school, Charterhouse, where, although he was not a good student, he made his mark in other ways through his artistic (he was ambidextrous) and dramatic talents. He was very clever at eluding the masters, going off into the nearby woods (against the rules) to catch, skin and cook rabbits, using such a tiny fire that the smoke did not betray his presence. After leaving school Robert entered the British Army as an officer, serving in India, Afghanistan and South Africa.
