Boys and girls spontaneously formed [[Troop|Scout troops]] and the [[Scouting]] movement had inadvertently started, first a national, and soon an international obsession. The Scouting movement was to grow up in friendly parallel relations with the Boys' Brigade. A rally for all Scouts was held at Crystal Palace in London in 1909, at which Baden-Powell discovered the first [[Girl Guide and Girl Scout|Girl Scouts]]. The [[Scouting|Girl Guides]] movement was subsequently founded in 1910 under the auspices of Baden-Powell's sister, Agnes Baden-Powell.

In 1929, during the [[3rd World Scout Jamboree]], he received as a present a new car, which happened to be a [[Rolls-Royce Limited|Rolls-Royce]]. This car was soon nicknamed [[Swiss roll|Jam-Roll]]. He also received an [[Eccles]] Caravan, which was nicknamed [[Eccles Cake]], so the Scouts attending the event were treated with a Jam-Roll towing an Eccles Cake. This combination well served the Baden-Powells in their further travels around Europe. Baden-Powell also had a positive impact on improvements in youth education. Under his dedicated command the world Scouting movement grew.
