A '''Girl Guide''' is a [[girl]], usually 11 to 17 years of age, participating in the worldwide [[Scouting]] movement.

This movement began in 1907, when [[Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|Robert Baden-Powell]] held the [[Brownsea Island Scout Camp|first Scout camp]] on [[Brownsea Island]], South England. To advance his ideas, Baden-Powell wrote the book, ''[[Scouting for Boys]]'', which targeted boy readership, and described the [[Scout method]] of using outdoor activities to develop character, citizenship, and personal fitness qualities among youth. The girls movement began in 1909 at The Crystal Palace in London, England, where Baden-Powell encountered a number of ''Girl Scouts'' in Scouting uniform and saw the demand for a similar programme for young women and girls. | ||
Girl Guides are organised into [[troop]]s averaging twenty to thirty girls under guidance of a team of [[Scout leader]]s. Troops subdivide into [[patrol]]s of about six Guides and engage in outdoor and special interest activities. Troops may affiliate with national and international organisations. Some troops, especially in Europe, have been [[co-education]]al since the 1970s, allowing boys and girls to work together as Scouts. There are other programme sections for older and younger girls. | Girl Guides are organised into [[troop]]s averaging twenty to thirty girls under guidance of a team of [[Scout leader]]s.

In the October issue of ''Boy Scout Headquaters Gazette'', a monthly newspaper for scoutmasters, an instruction appeared that all applications for membership for Girl Scouts or Girl Guides should be sent directly to headquarters, as arrangements were being made for them. A month later, in the same publication, ''The Scheme for Girl Guides'' was published. Baden-Powell knew that the girls needed a separate organisation if it were to be successful and if it were not to prejudice the success of the Boy Scout movement. The Girl Guides were named after the famous corps of guides in India, the [[Khyber Guides]]. Many girls in the UK who had been Girl Scouts were suspicious of these new developments but were persuaded to accept them.<ref name="Kerr">{{cite book| last =Kerr | first =Rose | authorlink= Rose Kerr | title =Story of the Girl Guides 1908-1938 | publisher =Girl Guides Association | date =1976 | location =London}}</ref> | ||

Many people thought that it would turn girls into tomboys, although as the Rev W. T. Money in Greenwich, London wrote in a report of 1910: | ||

Well, the girls about here are already that.

Uniform is a specific characteristic of Scouting. Robert Baden-Powell, at the 1938 World Jamboree, said it "hides all differences of social standing in a country and makes for equality; but, more important still, it covers differences of country and race and creed, and makes all feel that they are members with one another of the one great brotherhood".<ref name="uniform">{{cite web | last = Wade | first = E.K. | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = 1957 | url = http://pinetreeweb.com/wade12.htm | title = 27 Years With Baden-Powell | format = PDF | work = Why the Uniform?, ch 12 | publisher = Pinetree.web | accessdate = 2006-07-24}}</ref> | Uniform is a specific characteristic of Scouting.
