They were first run as the youngest group in the Guide Association by Agnes Baden-Powell, Lord Baden-Powell's younger sister.

Agnes Smyth Baden-Powell ( 16 December 1858 – 2 June 1945 ) was the younger sister of Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell, and was most noted for her work in establishing the Girl Guide movement as a female counterpart to her older brother's Scouting Movement.

Girl Guides were formed in 1910 by Robert Baden-Powell, with the assistance of his sister Agnes Baden-Powell.

In 1910 the Girl Guides ( and later Girl Scouts in the USA ) were founded by Baden-Powell with the aid of his sister Agnes.

His father's sister Henrietta Grace Powell was Robert Baden-Powell's mother making Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scout Movement, Smyth's first cousin.

Guiding began in the UK in 1910 after Robert Baden-Powell asked his sister Agnes to start a group especially for girls that would be run along similar lines to Scouting for Boys.

In response Baden-Powell formed the Girl Guides in 1910, and asked his sister Agnes to look after the new organisation.

The Guide uniform has evolved over the years, from its first design by Baden-Powell and his sister: long dresses, neckerchiefs ( like the Scouts ) and wide hats-a uniform designed with good taste, class and usefulness in mind.

Agnes Baden-Powell became the first president of the Girl Guides when it was formed in 1910, at the request of the girls who attended the Crystal Palace Rally.

General Nogi is significant to Scouting in Japan, as in 1911, he went to England in attendance on Prince Higashifushimi Yorihito for the coronation of King George V. The General, as the " Defender of Port Arthur " was introduced to General Robert Baden-Powell, the " Defender of Mafeking ", by Lord Kitchener, whose expression " Once a Scout, always a Scout " remains to this day.

Sea Scouting was introduced by Baden-Powell with the assistance of his brother, Warington Baden-Powell, K. C., an Admiralty lawyer, sailor, and inventor of canoe sailing.

Three years later in 1896, these scouts introduced the hat to British officer Sir Robert Baden-Powell, who in turn would introduce it to the South African Constabulary and the Boy Scouts ( see below ).

In his original book on boy scouting, Baden-Powell introduced the Scout Promise, as follows:

* 1889 – Olave Baden-Powell, English founder of the Girl Guide ( d. 1977 )

Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting | Girl Guiding / Scouting pioneer Olave Baden-Powell

She stepped down as president of the Girl Guides in 1920 in favor of Robert's wife Olave Baden-Powell, who was named Chief Guide ( for England ) in 1918 and World Chief Guide in 1930.

Baden-Powell wrote a book, Aids to Scoutmastership, to help Scouting Leaders, and wrote other handbooks for the use of the new Scouting sections, such as Cub Scouts and Girl Guides.

** Lady Olave Baden-Powell, English founder of the Girl Guides ( d. 1977 )

In 1918 his wife, Lady Olave Baden-Powell, took over the responsibility for the Girl Guides and thus for Brownies.

* Girl Scouts of the USA, a youth organization for girls in the United States based on the Scouting principles developed by Robert Baden-Powell

There were also many girls who wanted the same thing as well – Baden-Powell came across a group of Girl Scouts at the Crystal Palace Rally in 1909.

In his book " Girl Guiding ," Lord Baden-Powell ( 1918 ) wrote:

After his marriage in 1912, his wife Olave Baden-Powell took a leading role in the development of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting.

The eldest, Vivien, was involved in the Girl Guide movement and was a friend of Robert Baden-Powell.

The first handbook for Girl Guides, How Girls Can Help to Build Up the Empire by Agnes and Robert Baden-Powell, similarly explains:

However, the organisation remains co-educational, a fact which runs against the origins of scouting method as promulgated by Baden-Powell and maintained by the many Scouting organisations today ( evidence of this fact may be shown in the organisational structure of world scouting: the World Organization of the Scout Movement is separate from the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts ).

In summer 1946, Lady Olave Baden-Powell visited Czechoslovakia and she was welcomes in the whole country by Scouts and Guides.

Guides can choose to work on Challenge Badges, Go For Its, Interest badges and the Baden-Powell Challenge which is the highest award that a Guide can gain.

* Boy Scouts of America: Official Handbook, with General Sir Baden-Powell ( 1910 )

Warington Baden-Powell wrote the handbook Sea Scouting and Seamanship for Boys in 1910 with a foreword by Robert Baden-Powell.

In 1910, General Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scout Movement, visited Nicholas II in Tsarskoye Selo.

In 1910, inspired by the writings of Baden-Powell, Svojsík wrote Základy junáctví (" The Foundations of Scouting "), the first handbook for Scouts already operating in the Czech lands.

Sea Scouting is the BSA's implementation of the Sea Scout program, initially developed in 1910 by Warington Baden-Powell in England.

The American Boy Scouts ( ABS ), officially American Boy Scout then United States Boy Scouts, officially United States Boy Scout, was an early American Scouting organization formed by William Randolph Hearst in 1910, following on from the formation of the Scouting movement by Robert Baden-Powell between 1903 and 1907.
