INTRODUCTION OF THE SCOUTING

MOVEMENT

Sir Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden Powell

- Founder of Scouting

- Known as Lord B-P

- Born in Paddington, London

- Born on February 22, 1857

- In 1876, he went to India as young army

officer and specialized in scouting, map-

making, and reconnaissance.

- His success soon led to his training to

other soldiers.

- He used the same methods in Africa,

where B-Ps scouting skills were put to

the test. The courage and

resourcefulness shown by the boys in

the corps of messengers at Mafeking

made a lasting impression on him.

- In turn, his deeds made a lasting

impression in England.

- In 1907, he held an experimental camp

on Brownsea Island, Poole, in

Dorsetto try his ideas on scouting.

- He brought together 22 boys for a

camping

- After that, scouting spread quickly

throughout the British Empire and to

other countries until it was established in

practically all parts of the world.

- In 1909, at the Crystal Palacerally of

the Boy Scout in England

- A group of uniformed girls came out in

the open and voiced their appeal to B-P

to form a similar movement for girls.

- B-P requested his sister, Agnes, to help

him start a movement for girls

- The girls were called Guides

- The Girl Guiding Movement swelled all

over England at much the same as the

Boy Scouting Movement.

- Thus in May 1910, Agnes Baden-

Powell became the first president of the

Girl Guides.

- B-P retired from the army in 1910, at the

age of 53, on the advice of King

Edward VII who suggested that he

could now perform greater and more

valuable service for his country within

the scouting movement.

- With all his enthusiasm and energy were

now directed to the development of Boy

Scouting and Girl Guiding, he travelled

to all the parts of the world, wherever he

was most needed, to encourage growth

and give inspiration to Boy Scouts and

Girl Guides.

- Lady Olave St. Clair Soamescame

quietly into the movement when she met

B-P.

- Coincidentally, B-P and Lady Olave

Baden- Powell (Born in 1889) were born

on the same day, February 22.

- That day is celebrated throughout the

Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting World as

World Thinking Day.

- It is the day that Girl Guides and Girl

Scouts think of their founders, think of

each other, give thanks, and show their

appreciation for the international

friendship alive in the movement.

(Thinking Day)

- In 1911, Juliette Gordon Low met Sir

B-P in England and she was impressed

by what he had been doing in the

scouting movement.

- Juliette Low had been searching for

such a movement like this and she was

excited to join B-P in his adventure.

- Juliette realized that the young women

in United States were missing a

wonderful opportunity.

PREPARED BY: SR. SCT. MA. STELLA R. CABAGUE

- She promptly returned home to

Savannah where she called a friend

saying, Come right over. Ive got

something for the girls of Savannah and

all America, and the entire world, and

were going to start it tonight.

- The first troop meeting of Girl Scouts in

the United States was held in

Savannah on March 12, 1912. Juliette

Lows girls contributed much to the war

effort in their community.

- They participated actively as valued

citizens who were concerned about their

future.

THE GIRL SCOUTING MOVEMENT

ARRIVES IN THE PHILIPPINES

- Because of the historical and political

links of the Philippines with the United

States, from the beginning of the 20th

century, Scouting found its way in the

Philippine shores very easily.

- As early as 1917, there troops

organized by American Army and Navy

families in various parts of the

Philippines.

- These were registered directly with the

Girls Scouts in the America.

- The organization of these troops led

more lone troops such as the Rose

Troop in Davao in 1918, in Capiz in

1926, and the Mountain Province in

1928.

- Several of these troops were organized

by missionaries.

- Josefa Llanes Escoda, who had

studied in United States in 1925 for her

Masters Degree in Social Work from

Columbia University, returned to the

United States in 1933 to undergo

training in Girl Scouting.

- Her trip was sponsored by Joseph E.

Stevenot of the Boy Scouts of the

Philippines, Gen. Vicente Lim and his

wife Mrs. Pilar Hidalgo Lim, who was

President of the National Federation of

Womens Clubs, and an active

supporter for womens suffrage.

- Mrs. Pilar Hidalgo Lim inspired the

foundation of the Girl Scouts of the

Philippines.

- Upon her return to the Philippines,

Josefa Llanes Escoda immediately

started to set up the GSP with the help

of other civic organizations and civic

leaders, notably Mrs. Pilar Hidalgo Lim.

- On May 26, 1940, President Manuel

L.Quezon signed the charter of the

GSP under Commonwealth Act No. 542.

- Josefa became the first National

Executive of the GSP.

- GSP was barely 2 yrs. old when it had

to stop formal operations because World

War II broke out in 1942. During the

war, GSP continued its service to a

nation in Travail.

- Women leaders and volunteers with

Josefa Llanes- Escoda conveyed

messages of families to the war

prisoners; compiled the names and

addresses of Filipino prisoners-of-war

who were confined at Camp ODonnell

in Capas, Tarlac;

- And collected food, medicine, used

clothing, old leather shoes and even

coconut shells to be used as plates for

the prisoners.

- These valiant volunteers housed and

fed the stranded students in Manila.


- Later, when the situation in the city

worsened, Josefa and her husband,

Antonio Escoda, who was a journalist,

together with their formidable teams of

volunteers came up with the community

kitchens in different districts, and served

rice and monggo bean soup to the poor,

hungry, and jobless residents in Manila.

- Eventually, the heroic underground work

of Mr. and Mrs. Escoda led to their

arrest in 1944.

- They were executed in a concentration

camp, but up to now, the remains of

Antonio and Josefa Llanes Escoda

have not been found.

- Hon. Senator Helena Z. Benitez, born

in 1914, was the Chairman of the

emergency Volunteers Social Aid

Committee (VSAC)

- Together with GSP Central Committee

members, the Chaplains, Aides, and

Junior League Presidents, we worked

closely with Tony (Josefas husband)

and Josefa in the grim and critical

mission of bringing succor and relief to

Death March prisoners in San Fernando

and in Capas. This brief episode in the

life of GSP Founder must not be

overlooked not left untold.

- In 1946, the GSP was accepted as a

tenderfoot member of the World

Association of Girl Guides and Girl

Scouts (WAGGGS) during the 11th

World Conference held at Evian,

France.

- In 1948, the GSP became a full member

of WAGGGS during the 12th World

Conference held at Cooperstown, New

York.

- In 1965, to celebrate the Silver Jubilee

of the Girl Scouts of the Philippines,

special events and service projects were

calendared year round.

- The World Chief Guide, Lady Olave

Baden Powell, arrived in Manila in

December 1965 and was saluted by

more than 5,000 Girl Scouts at the

Pasasalamat held at the Luneta Park, a

fitting close to the yearlong celebration.

- The GSP was presented the Walter

Donald Ross Trophy Award in 1965

for its outstanding service project

rendered to the children of evacuees

who were victims of the eruption of Taal

Volcano

- On June 2, 1975, Presidential Decree

720 was signed, authorizing the

restructuring of the GSP.

- On March 17, 1976, the new GSP

Constitution and By- Laws were ratified

and confirmed.

- On April 20, 2009, president Gloria

Macapagal- Arroyo signed into a law

Republic Act Number 100731, now

known as the Girl Scouts of the

Philippines Charter of 2009.

Through the years, the GSP continues to

pursue vigorously its character building and

youth development programs. GSP is actively

contributing to the socio- economic and cultural

development of the Philippines through its

strong commitment to nation building.

NIMBLE

INTERESTED IN NEW THINGS

OUTGOING

RESPONSIBLE

dedicated women volunteers aged 21 and

above who sincerely love the Girl Scout

Movement and who passionately want to

adhere to the GSP Vision and Mission.

- They live by the Girl Scout Promise and Law

and inspire the Senior Girl Scouts to do the

same.

-They constantly seek new ways to update

their activities in the GSP Program to make it

viable and relevant for their age group.

-They are adept at using new media and other

means that are compatible with the Senior Girl

Scout's spiritual, mental, social, and physical

development.

the young girls' safety and well-being in the

troop.

-She is a guide, older sister, friend, and GSP

expert who will bring out everyone's talents and

creativity through the GSP Program.

-She is dedicated to the GSP, enjoys working

with Senior Girl Scouts, and truly loves the

Senior Girl scouts in her troop.

-She works for the well-being and improvement

of the lives of the Senior Girl scouts.

-The Troop Co-Leader helps the Troop Leader

in planning and implementing the GSP

Program.

-She assists the Troop Leader in making sure

that the Senior Girl Scouts enjoy the activities

while learning to be good citizens now and in

the future.

-The troop may have one or two Cadet Girl

Scouts to help on activities that require closer

supervision and more help.

THE BARANGAY GIRL SCOUT COMMITTEE

-The members of the Barangay Girl Scout

Committee are committed to support troops

within the barangay.

-This committee consists of 5-12 adult

members, male or female, who live

geographically close to the troops so that they

can easily be reached when troops need their

help.

-The Committee has a Chairman, a Vice

Chairman, a Secretary, and a Treasurer who

are chosen from among the female members.


PHASE I. MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS


-It is made up of 6 to 40 girls.

-Girls with disabilities are welcome in the

Movement as members of regular troops.

-Adaptations in uniform and activities will suit

their capabilities.

THE SENIOR GIRL SCOUT PATROL

-It is divided into patrols.

-A Troop may have one to six patrols.

-Each patrol has six to eight Senior Girl

scouts.

-A patrol has a Patrol Leader, a Patrol Second,

a Patrol Secretary or Scribe, a Treasurer, a

Grub leader, a Hike Leader, and a Patrol

Quarter Leader.

-The Patrol should also have a Patrol Song

and a Patrol Cheer.

How Does a Good Patrol Leader Act?

- She gets things done without being bossy.

-She is fair. She listens to everyone's ideas.

-At Court of Honor, she speaks for the whole

patrol, not just for herself.

-She shares the work with her assistant Patrol

Leader.

-She helps the other girls in her patrol,

especially the new ones.

-She tries to live by the Girl Scout Promise and

Law.

Ten Tips for Patrol Leaders

1. A successful Patrol Leader keeps her word.

She does not make promises she can't keep.

2. A good Patrol Leader shows no favorites.

She is fair to all. She doesn't allow a personal

friendship to keep her from being fair to all

members of the patrol. A Patrol Leader knows

who likes to do what; thus, she assigns duties

to patrol members by what they like to do.

3. A successful Patrol Leader is a good

communicator. a good leader knows how to get

and give information so that everyone

understands what's going on.

4. She is flexible. She knows that things do not

always go as planned. She is always prepared

to shift to "Plan B" when "Plan A" doesn't work.

5. She is well organized. She knows that the

time she spends planning is not wasted, but

instead will be repaid many times over. At

patrol meetings, the good Patrol Leader keeps

a record of who agrees to do each task, and

fills out the duty roster for Patrol and Troop

meetings as well as other activities such as

camping and trips outside with other troops.

6. The successful Patrol Leader knows how to

delegate. Delegation means being able to use

the talents, skills, and positive initiative of the

other patrol members in patrol and troop

activities. Patrol Leader must not assume that

they are the only ones who can get things done

in the patrol and in the troop. They must realize

that they cannot do everything by themselves.

This attitude will be difficult to maintain. The

Patrol Leader must realize that most people

like to be challenged with a task and that each

Senior Girl Scout likes to do things that they

have never tried before.


7. A good Patrol Leader sets a good example.

The most important thing she can do is lead by

example. Whatever she does, patrol members

are likely to do the same. a cheerful attitude

can keep everyone's spirits up.

8. A good Patrol Leader is consistent. Nothing

is more confusing than a leader who is one

way one moment and another way a short time

later. If the patrol members know what to

expect from their Patrol Leader, they will more

likely respond positively to her leadership.

9. She is generous in giving praise to her

Patrol Members. The best way to get credit is

to give it away. Often a "Nice Job" is all the

praise necessary to make a Patrol Member feel

she is contributing to the efforts of the patrol.

10. She is not afraid or embarrassed to ask for

help. Troop Leaders and other Patrol Leaders

are always willing to support a Patrol Leader.

When confronted with a situation she doesn't

know how to handle, she can always ask

someone with more experience for some

advice and direction.

OTHER OFFICERS IN THE PATROL

-The members of the Patrol will select other

officers besides the Patrol Leader.

-The Patrol Second takes the Patrol leader's

place when the Patrol leader is not there.

-The Patrol Secretary or Scribe takes down

minutes of Patrol-in-Council meetings, keeps a

record of the patrol's activities and

accomplishments and writes letters and fills up

forms when these are necessary.

-The Treasurer collects contributions when

necessary, records payments, and makes sure

that the Patrol Piggy Bank is safe with the

Troop Leader.

-The grub leader collects food when this is

being distributed by the Troop Leader during

ceremonies and other occasions.

-The Hike Leader is familiar with the out-of-

doors and is good at leading the patrol in safe

places when they are outdoors.

-The Patrol Quarter Leader makes sure that

the surroundings of the patrol are clean and

tidy, whether in the Troop Meeting Room or in

camping and other troop activities.

-Each patrol should have a Patrol Song and a

Patrol Cheer.


MEETING

-The Senior Girl Scout Troop must meet once

a week.

-The Troop Leader can call off the meeting if

there are important reasons to do so.

-The Troop Leader shall call the Troop Meeting

to order on time.

-Time Management is a valuable lesson to

learn during the Troop Meetings.

-The Troop Meeting starts with a prayer or a

reflection, followed by the Rededication to the

Girl Scout Promise and Law.

-Those not yet invested may recite with those

already invested so they can start memorizing.

The Promise and Law right away.

-After the Investiture, everybody becomes part

of the rededication each time a troop meeting

begins.


Eight Required Meetings to prepare for the

Investiture

-To learn about GSP, a Cadet Girl Scout must

attend 8 meetings as a preparation for the

Investiture (for those new to Girl Scouting) or

Rededication (for those who have been

invested as Twinkler Star or Junior Girl Scouts)

-Patrol-in-Council

When a patrol get together to discuss and take

decisions (what they want to do, badge work

activities, where they would like to camp, etc.)

it is called a Patrol-in-Council

-In Girl Scouting everyone cam have a say,

whether it is in choosing games to play or

deciding which activities to take up.

-The Patrol-in-Council is led and conducted by

the Patrol Leader whenever the patrol wants to

talk about anything especially the following:

what the member would like to do as a patrol

Whether the members would like to work for

badges

When electing Patrol Officers

When arranging a Patrol Ceremony

When buying Patrol Equipment

When looking back at things that have been

planned and discussed in previous Patrol-in-

Council meetings

When preparing for the Patrol Leaders'

Council

When the Patrol Leader has to tell the Patrol

Members about the things discussed and

decisions made in the Patrol Leaders' Council

Patrol Meeting

-Patrol Meetings are different from Patrol-in-

Council meetings.

-Patrol Meetings are when the Patrol gets

together for a cookout, to go swimming, to

rehearse an item for a concert, etc.

-Everyone in the patrol must work to keep the

meeting running smoothly and everyone can

do this by sharing the leadership.

-Everyone in the Patrol should:

Find out what needs to be done

Help to carry out planned activities

Encourage suggestions and ask questions

Be fair and co-operate with one another

In the patrols, Girl Scouts have different talents

and skills, so each should be encouraged to

contribute their talents and skills in whatever

way they can.

Here are ways by which Senior Girl Scouts can

help the patrol and the troop succeed in its

activities:

plan ahead

organize

gather information

share information with others

see where there is a problem and try to solve

it

stick together when a problem arises

be fair to each other


Show respect for others

inspire each other

think clearly

work hard
