Any Polish girl scouts out there?

The harrowing new book about the Mury scout troop from Ravensbrück (written by Anna Kwiatkowska-Bieda) is available to read in Polish! 🇵🇱

We hope it'll be available to read in english some day, in the meantime we better get to learning some Polish 🤓

The second photo is of one of the women who started the troop in Ravenbrück, Józefa Kantor. She was a junior scoutmaster before the war, but once she met Zofia Janczy and Maria Rydarowska in November 1941 in Block XV, she took on a bigger role. Together, the women created the scout troop as a way to oppose all the evil in the camp and protect them from the loss of their humanity.

Girl Guides are known to be smart, brave, and strong, but it was exceptionally true of the European Guides who snuck food, disarmed bombs, and helped soldiers escape from prison camps during World War II!

It's no secret that girl guides were at their top form during WWII, providing supplies and helping the wounded. But have you heard the accounts of those who truly risked their lives to save others? Have you heard about the women who kept guiding going even in concentration camps?

You'll hear these stories and learn about former Canadian girl guide, Lillian Bilsky Freiman - co-founder of Royal Canadian Legion and crafter of the original Remembrance Day poppy - in episode 50!

Devon shares her Guiding story with us and talks about her experience with this feeling, and why it brought her back to Girl Guides.

You can take the Girl out of Girl Guides, but you can't take the Girl Guides out of the Girl!

Take a look at the original Pathfinder uniform!

For those of you who may have worn it - what did you think of it?

For those of you who joined Pathfinders after - what era of uniform did you wear?

Green has always been a part of it, of course 😁, until 2019/20 when the uniform changed to be the same across all branches.

Behind the Mic 🎙 Episode 46: Knot Again

Thought you'd never need those knot tying and lashing skills? Betcha don't think so looking at these!

These structures were all made by guiding and scouting hands with just some rope, wood, and knots & lashing. It's incredible what you can make when you know your knots (and work together)!

08/03/2021

Do the girls in your unit always complain about having to learn their knots? Have you ever wondered if there was ever any point to knot tying?

Well, we're here to tell you that knowing your knots is essential if you're a Girl Guide/Scout! And if that's not enough to convince you, watch out for our next Behind the Mic post where we'll show you some incredible structures made from knots & lashing!!

Behind the Mic 🎙 Episode 45: Our Girl Scout Neighbours

Juliette Low was an incredible woman. She built the Girl Scout organization from the ground up starting in her hometown of Savannah, Georgia. Juliette left quite a legacy behind her and the Girl Scouts are so very thankful to call her their founder.
