GIRL GUIDE JAMBOREE.
The enormous success of the Boy Scout jamboree as a means of bringing together representatives of tho organisation throughout the world has impressed Lady Baden-Powell with the possibilities of arranging a celebration of the coming-of-age, in' two years' time, of the Girl Guide movement, of which she is the chief.
With the immediate success of the Boy Scouts it was only natural that a similar achemo should be started for girls,_ and the idea was taken up with enthusiasm, states a London writer. There are now nearly 800,000 Girl Guides throughout the world, but there fire, soma doubts as to where the movement actually sprang into being. "As soon as tho idea was mooted," I was told at their headquarters, "there was such a rush to be enrolled that it is almost impossible to say where tho first troop was formed; i£ is generally accepted that the honour should go to Pinkney's Green, near Maidenhead.".
