    Scouting at the Olympics Boy Scouts and Girl Guides as Olympic Volunteers 1912-1998* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Renson — n 1894, Pierre de Coubertin created the modern I Olympic movement and Robert Baden-Powell founded the Boy Scout movement in 1908. Both were educational innovators and creators of universal movements, which aspired to international peace and brotherhood. Although both men were convinced patriots, they shared common ideas about idealistic internationalism. Several idealis­ tic international movements made their appearance in the fin de siècle period, namely the Red Cross (1863), the Esperanto movement (1887), the Olympic movement (1894) and Scouting (1907). The Olympic movement and the Scouting movement were originally exclusively male organizations, which adopted the ideology of chivalry as Pierre de Coubertin (1863-1937) founded the modern Olympic movement the basis for establishing an idealized transnational iden­ in 1894 and - which is little known - the 'neutral' scout federation Eclaireurs tity (Hoberman 1995). Coubertin was cofounder in 1910 Français in France in 1911 (Painting by Gaétan de Navacelle, courtesy of - with the physicist and winner of the 1908 Nobel-Prize Comité National Olympique et Sportif Français, Paris, in Müller 2000:5). Gabriel Lippmann - of the Ligue d’Education National, the forerunner of the French Boy Scouts and one year later, he founded the neutral’ scouting organization Eclaireurs Français (EF) in 1911 (Kruger 1980). Baden-Powell - like many other Edwardians - was haunted by fears that the British race was deteriorating, both physically and morally, and he therefore promoted outdoor life and the British ideology of sportsmanship, which was also absorbed by Coubertin (Brendon 1979: 239; Rosenthal 1986: 10; 31).

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.

And in this unseen, spiritual way you can give them your uplifting sympathy and friendship. Thus do we Guides, of all kinds and of all ages and of all nations, go with the highest and the best towards the spreading of true peace and goodwill on earth. Window on my heart (1983), Lady Baden-Powell and Mary Drewery, p. 182 Table of Contents This event toolkit has been a wonderful collaboration of ideas and resources, and we are thankful for the following groups: ☙ WAGGGS ☙ Girl Scouts River Valleys ☙ GSME MDI Service Unit ☙ GSME Merrymeeting Service Unit Introduction .......................................................................................3 World Thinking Day Event Planning Information........................4 Event Planning Timeline and Checklist ........................................9 World Thinking Day Activities ...................................................... 15 Appendix ......................................................................................... 29 2 Introduction World Thinking Day is officially celebrated as an international friendship day to celebrate friendships near and far on February 22nd of each year. However, Service Units may decide to hold their events before or after February 22nd for the ease of planning and attendance. World Thinking Day is a special day set aside for Girl Scouts and Girl Guides to develop awareness about their sisters around the world, explore cultural similarities and differences across the globe, and learn about issues that girls and women around the world face. The date was selected because it was both the birthday of Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of Boy Scouts and the inspiration to Juliette Gordon Low, and Lady Baden-Powell, one of the first World Chief Guides.

  • Wagggs Pin Ceremony
    WAGGGs Pin Ceremony Preparation: Print out the WAGGGS Pin and cut apart Print the blue background Print the template to build your pin upon Purchase WAGGGS pins for any girls receiving Don’t forget the camera To start: All participants stand in a horseshoe. Use a table to piece together the different pieces of a WAGGGS pin. Leader: The horseshoe formation symbolizes the open friendship circle. In the open end of the horseshoe stand our sister Girl Scouts and Girl Guides around the world. If they were actually here, our horseshoe would become a completed circle, having no beginning or end. [Then come a series of questions and answers, which you can divide up in any practical way. We had the people who asked the questions come forward to place the part of the pin they asked about on the felt board while someone else read the answer.] What is the world pin? It is the pin of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. We are going to construct such a pin. As we do, let us consider very carefully the reason for its color and design. Then we will know how deep a feeling of international friendship it can inspire in it. What does the gold circle around the edge stand for? The gold band surrounding our pin symbolizes the sun that shines on children all over the world. Why is the world pin blue? The blue background symbolizes the sky above us, all over the world. Why do we have a trefoil in the World pin? The gold trefoil is the sign of Girl Scouting and Girl Guiding around the world.

  • 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.
