12. Similarities
• The Motto
The Motto, 'Be Prepared', shares the Founder's initials and is a
practical reminder of the educational purposes of Girl Guiding and
Girl Scouting.
• Good Turn
The Good Turn symbolizes the service given by all members of the
Movement to the community. Younger girls think of ways they can
do a good turn every day, while older girls develop this further into
service projects at local, national and international levels.

13. Similarities
• World Flag
• The golden Trefoil remains the focal point on a blue background. A white blaze in the
lower, right-hand corner represents WAGGGS' commitment to peace. This is crowned
by three golden blocks symbolizing the three-fold Promise. It is used at the World
Centers, the World Bureau, WAGGGS' gatherings and by all Member Organizations,
often as a unit flag.
• The Left Handshake
• The Founder suggested a Left Handshake to recognize other members of the
Movement, and it is still used widely. When asked to explain the origin, Lord Baden-
Powell related a legend told to him in West Africa: two hostile, neighboring
communities decided to try to live together in peace, and so they flung down their
shields, which were carried on the left arm, and advanced, unprotected, to greet
each other with their left hands extended in trust and friendship

14. History
How did Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting begin?
• 1909 – The first Boy Scout rally, organised by Baden-
Powell in Crystal Palace, South London, saw a number of
girls attending. They were proclaiming to be Girl Scouts
and prompted the founder to include girls and young
women into the Movement.
• 1910 – The Girl Guides movement was formally founded
in 1910 by Baden-Powell and his sister Agnes Baden-
Powell.
