Administrative history

The Girl Guide Movement was founded in England in 1909 when Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts, asked his sister, Agnes Baden-Powell, to help him start an organization for girls. Girl Guides came to Canada in 1910 and the first troop in British Columbia was registered in Victoria 1912.
