Originally a program to promote feminine citizenship only to British girls, Guiding became tied up with ef- forts to maintain, transform, or build different kinds of imagined communities—imperial states, nationalists movements, and independent nation states. From the program’s origins in London in 1909 until 1960 the relationship of the metropole and colonies resembled a complex web of in- fluence, adaptation, and agency. The interactions between Girl Guide officialdom headquartered in London, Guide leaders of colonized girls, and the colonized girls who joined suggest that the foundational ideology of Guiding, maternalism, became a common language that participants used to work toward different ideas and practices of civic belonging initially as members of the British Empire and later as members of independent nations.

They make me laugh about the very things I want to cry about and provide the reality check I so often need before I implement my latest scheme. They have provided the daily breaks I’ve needed to survive the writing process. On a daily basis they demonstrate the perseverance, determination, and work ethic that carried me through this project. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A tremendous number of people have helped me. My advisor, Christine Skwiot, pushed me through the most difficult parts of the creative process and continues to provide a model of scholarship and teaching I aspire to. Denis Gainty, the other member of my thesis “committee,” has provided reassurance throughout the entire process and read my entire draft in less two days. I am grateful to the Association of Historians at Georgia State University who funded my re- search trip to New York and arranged conferences where my colleagues gave me suggestions that revealed new aspects of my research I had overlooked. Yevgeniya Gribov, the archivist at Girl Scouts of the USA, ensured that I had access to the international Guiding magazine. Most of my research, however, was accomplished through the incredible feats of persuasion performed by the Georgia State University Interlibrary Loan Department who somehow convinced even libraries in Australia to loan me the materials I requested. Jill Anderson, the History Librarian at GSU, encouraged me to pursue obscure sources directly and reach out to other scholars. Mike Wilmott, the editor of Come on Eileen!, sent me this text weeks before I was able to pay for it. Sarah Wisdom, a colleague, read all three chapters and let me know what stories were irrelevant to my arguments. Though my study relies on the work of many scholars, I want especially to thank four scholars: Tammy Proctor, the first scholar inside the academy to write a global history of Guid- ing; Kristine Alexander, a scholar of Guiding in interwar India, Britain, and Canada; Timothy Parsons, whose research focuses predominately on Boy Scouting in Africa; and Anthony Watt, occasionally referred to as “the historian on the boy scouts of India.” vi TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS......................................................................................................v INTRODUCTION ....................................................................................................................1 Girl Guides, Empire, and Nations as Imagined Communities ....................................5 Maternalism: A Manifestation of the Civilizing Mission.............................................6 The Colonial Spectrum of Guiding.............................................................................12 Chapters ......................................................................................................................16 Terminology ................................................................................................................19 CHAPTER 1: METROPOLITAN MOTHERS' INTERNATIONALISM: THE ORIGINS, DISCOURSE, AND GOVERNANCE OF GIRL GUIDES, 1918-1960 ................................25 Imperial Origins..........................................................................................................26 World War I: The Reinvention of Girl Guiding, 1914-1918......................................32 The Baden-Powells: The Preservation of the Civilizing Agenda...............................36 The Mother of Guides and Her Family ......................................................................42 Western Illusions of Internationalism ........................................................................48 Western Leaders Question the Extent of Their International Principals .................51 Conclusion ...................................................................................................................61 CHAPTER 2: FUTURE MOTHERS OF EMPIRE: WHITE GUIDERS AND THEIR MISSION TO MOTHER IMPERIAL CITIZENS, 1915-1945.............................................74 Opposition of Colonial Governments .........................................................................76 Partners in Empire......................................................................................................80 Mothering the Future Citizens of Empire..................................................................97 Conclusion: Effects of White Guiders Work With the Colonized...........................108 vii CHAPTER 3: GIRL GUIDING: MATERNAL NATIONALISM AND THE ABORIGINAL EXCEPTION, 1910-1960............................................................................122 India: Conflicting Ideas of Citizenship, 1911-1960 ..................................................125 Models of the post-war Guiding Internationalism: India and Pakistan..................145 Malaya .......................................................................................................................147 Nigeria .......................................................................................................................153 Australia ....................................................................................................................159 Conclusion .................................................................................................................163 CONCLUSION .....................................................................................................................180 BIBLIOGRAPHY: PRIMARY SOURCES.........................................................................183 Collections .................................................................................................................183 Newspapers/ Journals ...............................................................................................183 Published ...................................................................................................................184 BIBLIOGRAPHY: SECONDARY SOURCES ...................................................................189 1 INTRODUCTION I Promise, on my Honor To do my duty to God and the King; To try and do daily good turns for other people; To obey the Law of the Guides.1 At the beginning of each weekly Girl Guide meeting, colonized girls in Malaya, Austra- lia, Nigeria, and India pledged their loyalty to the King of England. Many wore the same uni- form, learned the symbolism of the Union Jack and the words to God Save the Queen, and per- formed the same rituals that Lord Robert Baden-Powell had invented for British girls during the first two decades of the twentieth century.

    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).

Since Boy Scouts of America started recruiting girls to their program, there has been confusion and misinformation reported about Girl Scouts. Here are common myths and the facts. MYTHS FACTS ABOUT GIRL SCOUTS Not even close. At Girl Scouts, everything we do is designed with and for girls.

  • 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.
