GIRLGUIDING

Girlguiding

Girlguiding is the national Guiding organisation of the United Kingdom. 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. The Guide Association was a founder member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in 1928. Today the Association has more than 538,000 members and continues to be the largest girl only youth organisation in the UK.
