Bedfordshire Girlguiding Centenary Website
home
In 1910 Robert Baden-Powell formed the Girl Guides with just a handful of girls and the help of his sister Agnes. Although their numbers were small, the girls passionately believed that they should have the same opportunities to develop their skills and abilities as Boy Scouts.
It is extraordinary to think that from such humble beginnings Girlguiding UK has grown to be the largest voluntary organisation for girls and young women in the UK, and that there are a staggering ten million girls and women involved in Guiding worldwide.
However, the story does not end here. With our Centenary fast approaching, we are about to witness the next chapter in the story of guiding.

However, the story does not end here. With our Centenary fast approaching, we are about to witness the next chapter in the story of guiding.
In 2010 we’ll see the biggest celebrations in our history as Girlguiding UK marks its 100th anniversary. The celebrations will not only remember our rich history and reflect where guiding is today, but will also look to the future as we continue to grow. Take part and show others what Bedfordshire Guiding has to offer – you’ll help to ensure that Girlguiding UK remains the leading voluntary organisation for girls and women in the UK.
