A Salute to Guiding & Scouting
GIRL GUIDES CELEBRATE 85 YEARS
In 1995, Girl Guides of Canada - Guides du
Canada, Canada's largest organization for girls
and women celebrates 85 years of fun,
friendship, challenge and adventure.
On Wednesday, Feb. 22, Girl Guide campfires
will be held throughout Canada launching the
celebration year. Thousands of girls and women,
will gather around their campfires to experience
the camaraderie and unity. The joy of singing,
the laughter of games and the memories of the
night will linger long after the embers die.
Chief Commissioner Marsha Ross, says "The
campfire is symbolic of the spirit of Guiding and
the opportunities Guiding gives to girls to
achieve and reach their potential. Girl Guide
principles have stayed constant since our
founding 85 years ago, but our program
activities have changed to reflect today's girl."
WORLD SCOUTING
The World Organization of the Scout Movement
Scouting is a growing, worldwide youth movement. there are
more than 16 million members in 150 countries and
territories. Scouting is a voluntary, non-political, educational
movement for young people, open to all.
Scouting began in England in 1907, based upon Lord Baden-
Powell's ideas and book, "Scouting for Boys". The book and
programme proved to have great appeal for boys and quickly
spread worldwide. While Scouting's purpose, promise and law
are timeless and universal, Scouting's flexible progj-amme
adapts to meet the needs of youth and their society wherever
they live.
The purpose of this educational Movement for young people is
to contribute to their personal and social development. It is
based on:
• Adherence to spiritual principles, loyalty to the religion that
expresses them, and acceptance of the duties which result.
• Loyalty to one's country in harmony with the promotion of
peace, understanding and cooperation.
• Responsibility for the development of oneself.
• Participation in the development of society with recognition
and respect for the dignity of one's fellow man and for the
integrity of the natural world.
• A method of progressive self-education comprising
programmes adapted to the various age groups and based
upon a promise and law, learning by doing, membership in
small groups, a scheme of personal progression and
activities taking place in contact with nature.
