Geocache Description:


Girl Guides is a parallel movement in Scouting originally, and still largely, for girls. It evolved in the Scouting movement in the early years of the 20th century. Girls were attracted to Scouting from its inception in 1907. In different places around the world, the movement developed in diverse ways. In some places, girls attempted to join Scouting organisations and it was decided that single-gender organisations were a better solution.

The two wildebeest running from left to right was accepted as the "Arms of Natal" in 1870. Wildebeest were a common game in the early days and their skins comprised a large proportion of Natal's hide exports, which in turn formed a large proportion of the Colony's exports.

In 1994 the Natal Girl Guides Association adopted the two black wildebeest in silhouette as the Provincial emblem.

In heraldy, the maiden's shield is a diamond, so the new Provincial badge has the two black Wildebeest running on a white diamond shape with the word NATAL across the lower point.

When the Province was split into Coastal, Southern and Inland in 1926, we were lucky enough to be given the original Standard to treaure and use.

This cache is at the entrance to the Worlds View campsite.
