[p=21, 2, left]The first girls to enter the Scouts[b]movement[/b] had to fight to get in. The Boy Scouts Association was organised in the early years of the 20th century, when Robert Baden-Powell, a famous army general, tried out his ideas for training boys at a camp.[/p][p=21, 2, left]At the Scouts' first rally, at Crystal Palace Park in 1909, several small groups of girls [b]turned up[/b]. They represented hundreds of other girls and[b]insisted[/b] that they wanted to be Scouts too.[/p][p=21, 2, left]In an age when skirts were ankle-length and young ladies never ran, the idea of girls being involved in camping, [b]hiking[/b] and similar activities received a [b]mixed response[/b]. Angry critics [b]denounced[/b] girl scouting as a "[b]foolish[/b] and [b]pernicious[/b] movement", according to the WAGGGS website.[/p][p=21, 2, left]However, Baden-Powell [b]had a scheme for girls in mind[/b] and in 1910 he formed the Girl Guides, asking his sister Agnes to look after the new organisation.[/p][p=21, 2, left]A book launched this month said that the guides even had a role in the[b]war effort[/b] during World War II. According to How Girl Guides Won the War, girls were earning [b]badges[/b] as [b]proficient [/b]electricians, mechanics and first-aiders. In many ways the Girls Guiding movement has been a [b]driving force[/b] in the fight for [b]women's equality[/b].[/p][p=21, 2, left]Being a Girl Guide can be an unforgettable experience for many girls. As former Girl Guide, Lynne from Newbury explains, "At 54 years of age I am still using the skills I learned as a guide over 40 years ago, from survival techniques to [b]knotting[/b]."[/p][/font] that reminds me of “儿童团” [b]回复 [url=http://bbs.tingroom.com/redirect.php?goto=findpost&pid=398237&ptid=187111]2#[/url] [i]tingroom[/i] [/b]
