Editor's Notes
- Three women, in so far as the Girl Scouts of the Philippines is concerned, had shaped and contributed greatly to the Girl Scouting/Girl Guiding world.
- formerly Olave St. Claire Soames, came quietly into the movement when she married B-P eight months after a whirlwind shipboard romance while on cruise to the West Indies with her father. There she met Baden Powell and had since been actively involved in the movement in 1916 when she was appointed Country Commissioner for Sussex and later as Chief Commissioner. Lady Olave visited the Philippines twice. The first time was in March 25-27, 1958 as part of her travel itinerary in Asia and the second was on October 11, 1966 during the Closing Ceremonies of the GSP's 25th anniversary held at the Luneta Grandstand. She conveyed her warm affection and pleasant thoughts to the Filipino Girl Scouts during these visits.
- "Daisy", a woman of means from Savannah, Georgia and widow of an Englishman named William Low, met Lord B-P who interested her in the Scouting program.
- She had worked very hard to uplift the condition of needy and disadvantaged people. As early as 1918, lone troops were found to be in existence in the islands. Some of the early troops were organized in Davao (1918), Capiz (1926), the Mountain Province, Manila (1939) and other places. Generally, American missionaries and servicemen and other concerned members of the American communities were said to have started these troops. All these early troops, however, were registered directly with the GSUSA.
