'''Girlguiding UK''' is the national [[Girl Guides|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]] (WAGGGS) in 1928. Today the Association has more than 600,000 members and continues to be the largest female only youth organisation in the UK. | '''Girlguiding UK''' is the national [[Girl Guides|Guiding]] organisation of the United Kingdom.
