GIRLGUIDING

 

  In he early years of the 20th century, Robert Baden-Powel, a famous army general, developed a scheme for training boys. He tried out his ideas at a camp on Brown sea Island in 1907 and the following year published them in a book, Scouting for Boys. The book was an instant success and boys throughout the UK enthusiastically took up Scouting. As a result, Baden-Powel soon found himself organising the Boy Scout Movement
