Happy Thinking Day everyone.  Today 22nd Feb is the joint birthday of Lord and Lady Baden Powell who were the founders of Scouts & Guides 100 yrs ago.   What started with a small group of boys testing out BP methods is now worldwide with millions of members. 
Guides are celebrating their Centenary this year in the UK.  I'm proud to say I'm a Leader in this great organisaton.
Maybe you were a Scout or a Brownie/Guide and have some memories you could post here.

I went to brownies and loved it but when it was time to leave and move up to guides it just wasnt the "cool" thing to do

I now help out at Rainbows which, for those who dont know (cos I didnt - they didnt have them when i was that age!!), is part of the Guide Association for girls age 5-7 - pre-brownies

Happy Thinking Day

Hi, my name is Cariad and I am a Guide/Scout orphan. Father ran the Scouts, mother started off as a Tawny Owl and ended up County Commissioner for Guides. Now "retired" she's ruling the roost with the Trefoil Guild for ex-leaders. Holidays were spent with them taking hordes of kids camping and me and my brother having to tag along - to this day I refuse to sleep under canvas.
