Girl Guides Association Victoria 47Th Annual Report 1972-73 Girl Guides Association Victoria 47th Annual Report 1972-73 f The Guide Promise I promise that I will do my best; To do my duty to God, To serve the Queen and help other people and To keep the Guide Law. The Guide Law A Guide is loyal and can be trusted. A Guide is helpful. A Guide is polite and considerate. A Guide is friendly and a sister to all Guides. A Guide is kind to animals and respects all living things. A Guide is obedient. A Guide has courage and is cheerful in all difficulties. A Guide makes good use of her time. A Guide takes care of her own possessions a nd those of other people. A Guide is self-controlled in all she th inks, says and does. State Report It gives me great pleasure to present my first Annual Re ­ port as State Commissioner for Victoria. From this you will M iss Betty Macartney see the extent to which Guiding has flourished during the past year. There have been changes - changes of executive per­ sonnel, changes within the Guide programme, changes perhaps in the role Guiding is playing in the community but it is st imulating to know that everywhere we can see the basic principles of the Movement being carried out. In an age of increasing permissiveness, the Guide Association with its emphasis on character building and training for citizenship assumes an even greater import­ ance than in past years. I can think of no greater commu ­ nity service and responsibility than that of sharing in the moulding of the character of our girls who in a few short years will themselves assume all the challenges of citizen­ ship. Victorian Guiding suffered a great loss with the sudden death of its State Secretary, Miss The degree of success the Movement has achieved must Betty Maca rtney. be attributed to Ol.)r untiring bond of leaders, from the State Executive through every section of the Movement, to Miss Macartney was to have retired on the many' non-uniformed people such as Local Associa­ January 31 st, 1973 but we were all shocked tion members who give so much to Guiding in so many and deeply saddened to learn of her sudden ways.

Girls from all Sec­ tions participated in the Opening Ceremony of Moomba and two Ranger Guides accompanied the Governor, Sir Rohan Delacombe, by launch to the closing ceremony. Each evening a group of girls presented a Festival of Countries at Flinders Park. Ranger Guides and Rovers from Yarra -Batman combined to build a float " The Old Woman in the Shoe" which they entered in the Moomba procession. During Moomba weekend all roads led to the Badminton Centre where gay displays and exciting activities based on our eight-point programme were presented. For three days this centre was filled with many hundreds of happy laughing folk of all ages enjoying the fun and fellowship of Guiding.

  • 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.

Bringing in new youth also brings in new adults with fresh ideas and willingness to serve. All programs should plan a coordinated membership drive annually. New Scouts can join any time during the year, and there are some points in the year that recruiting efforts can be successful (Fall & Spring). The Fall Recruiting Season The beginning of the school year is the busiest time of the Cub Scout recruiting season; it is the time of the year when we recruit the most youth and their families into our program. Families have many choices when deciding programs and activi- ties in which to participate; being prepared to present Cub Scouts as a viable choice requires planning, effective marketing and staging a well-organized registration event. Planning Begin planning your Fall Recruiting season in the spring so that you are ready to engage when school begins in the fall. • Update your Annual Pack Calendar to include school visits, marketing outreach activities, Sign-Up Night and parent orienta- tion.
