Similarities

• The MottoThe Motto, 'Be Prepared', shares the Founder's initials and is a practical reminder of the educational purposes of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting.• Good TurnThe Good Turn symbolizes the service given by all members of the Movement to the community. Younger girls think of ways they can do a good turn every day, while older girls develop this further into service projects at local, national and international levels.

Similarities

• World Flag• The golden Trefoil remains the focal point on a blue background. A white blaze in

the lower, right-hand corner represents WAGGGS' commitment to peace. This is crowned by three golden blocks symbolizing the three-fold Promise. It is used at the World Centers, the World Bureau, WAGGGS' gatherings and by all Member Organizations, often as a unit flag.

• The Left Handshake• The Founder suggested a Left Handshake to recognize other members of the

Movement, and it is still used widely. When asked to explain the origin, Lord Baden-Powell related a legend told to him in West Africa: two hostile, neighboring communities decided to try to live together in peace, and so they flung down their shields, which were carried on the left arm, and advanced, unprotected, to greet each other with their left hands extended in trust and friendship

History

How did Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting begin?• 1909 – The first Boy Scout rally, organised by

Baden-Powell in Crystal Palace, South London, saw a number of girls attending. They were proclaiming to be Girl Scouts and prompted the founder to include girls and young women into the Movement.• 1910 – The Girl Guides movement was formally

founded in 1910 by Baden-Powell and his sister Agnes Baden-Powell.
