Baden-Powell knew that more and more boys were joining the Scouts, but he wanted to find out just how popular the movement was. He organised a rally at the Crystal Palace for 4 September 1909, to see how many would attend. Not only did 11,000 Scouts turn up, but much to Baden-Powell's surprise, standing in the front row was a group of girls wearing Scout hats and holding staves.

“What the dickens are you doing here?” he asked.

“Oh, we are the Girl Scouts,” they said. Sybil Carradine, from Peckham in South London, and her friends had seen the boys going off to have fun with the Scouts and decided to copy them. When they heard about the Crystal Palace rally they put on their uniforms and marched straight through the turnstiles.

“The devil you are!” Baden-Powell declared.

“Please, please,” they replied, “we want something for the girls.” To their utter amazement, he said, “You'd better take part in the march-past at the end.” At that moment Sybil and her friends knew they had won; and it was the girls whom the photography of the event in the Daily Mirror depicted standing at the front of the crowd.

The film's plethora of in-jokes out-Cahiers Cahiers. Mark's father is played by Michael Powell. The director of the feature film is played by Esmond Knight. The hero is called Mark Lewis, presumable after the film's script writer, whose name is Leo Marks. Pamela Green was made famous by a photographer called Harrison Marks. The Esmond Knight character is called Arthur Baden. Baden-Powell also looked after little boys and trained their characters. Mark gets involved with red-haired women only (like most Powell heroines). He describes himself as a correspondent from the Observer and father tells him to 'Look at the sea', 'Look at the see' being what his victims do in the mirror which replaces the reflector. The black-and-white flashbacks to clinical child-torture relate to the coloured present in a way reminiscent of Resnais's Nuit et brouillard. This film is built on refusing to allow the audience to hate the torturer, on a cold hysteria of frustrated indignation, stoked up by the sacrilegious idea of casting Moira Shearer as a bit of a bitch, fit fodder for a sensitive sex murderer. Suicidally impaled on his own machine, Mark, in dying hallucination, is reconciled with his long-dead father. Here art reveals, again, its diabolical root.

Wenn wir mit unseren Nachbarn in fremden Ländern und Übersee Freundschaft schließen und wenn sie unsere Freundschaft erwidern, so werden wir nicht das Verlangen haben, gegen sie zu kämpfen. Das ist bei weitem die beste Methode, um künftige Kriege zu verhindern und einen dauerhaften Frieden zu sichern.

Girls should be brought up to be comrades and helpers, not to be dolls. They should take a real and not a visionary share in the welfare of the nation.

Saw a post saying Girl Scouts were "punk" and as always as ever got incandescently angry about the acceptance of the Scouting movement as politically neutral and even, possibly, empowering but tl;dr

1: Hey did you know you can visit the house where the first Girl Scouts of America meetings were held? It's a museum and local heritage site now!

2: Wow! Because of the Girl Scouts?

1: No, it was also the most lucrative cotton plantation in Savannah before the Civil War, and Juliette Gordon Low, whose father was also a Confederate captain and prominent cotton plantation owner, inherited it from her husband :) Also did you know they are called the Girl Scouts and not the Girl Guides because it "reminded [them] of America's pioneer history," i.e., Manifest Destiny :)

In the world of piano, we’re transported on a musical journey, where the notes and chords create a tapestry of emotions…

[quotesfrommyreading]

Unknown to Baden-Powell, by 1909 girls were forming their own Scout troops in several parts of the country, from Newcastle-upon-Tyne to Clacton-on-Sea. They too had read Scouting for Boys, and in response they formed patrols and marched around with staves and lanyards, their haversacks filled with bandages in case they came upon an injured person. The cobbled together their own uniforms: Miss Elise Lee, the first Girl Scout in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, wore a Boy Scout hat and her own blouse. Winnie Mason of Southsea, Hampshire, wore a Boy Scout shirt and scarf, a long, straight skirt and lace-up boots, and carried a staff. The first Mayfair Group, formed by three sisters, Eleanor, Laura and Jean Trotter, wore serge skirts just below the knee, navy jerseys and shiny leather belts. In Scotland, Girl Scouts wore kilts and woollen jerseys. The thirty Gillingham Girl Scouts in Kent went on cycle outings in their uniforms in 1909. These early Girl Scouts even managed to obtain badges from Scout headquarters by indicating that they had achieved the desired standard in tests, and only giving their initials rather than their full Christian names. It was some time before the Boy Scouts noticed, and then demanded the return of the badges.
