Scouting (or the Scout Movement) is a movement that aims to support young people in their physical, mental and spiritual development, that they may play constructive roles in society, with a strong focus on the outdoors and survival skills. During the first half of the 20th century, the movement grew to encompass three major age groups for boys (Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Rover Scout) and, in 1910, a new organization, Girl Guides, was created for girls (Brownie Guide, Girl Guide and Girl Scout, Ranger Guide). It is one of several worldwide youth organizations. Scouts past and present will be fascinated to see how scouting has changed, as well as what has stayed the same over the years.

The official guide for Girl Scouts contains a history of the organization, an explanation of its principles, scouting tests, etc.

Captains and others giving the tests will adapt the wording to the needs of the particular case. With many subjects a list of standard references is given. It is desirable that a girl should read at least one of these books, not in order to pass an examination but that she may be familiar with the general field and the great names and principles associated with it. Where a whole troop is working on a subject, portions of the books may be read at troop meetings, or several Scouts can read together and discuss their Impressions. It is important that every Girl Scout should understand that the winning of any one of the...
