Considering that Team Purple Pen is made up of Rovers from right here in Geelong it only seems fair that our first cache is one about Scouting :)
The location this cache is bringing you to is where our rover den is as well as a scout troop, a cub pack and a browine and guide group as well.
The founder of Scouting, Lord Robert Baden Powell (BP) first conducted an experimental camp on Brownsea Island off the Dorset coast of the UK in 1907. With some 20 boys from all walks of life and suitable adult leaders, this camp held on the 1st of August 1907 is regarded as the beginning of the Scout Movement worldwide.
There is now between 25 and 40 million boys, girls and adult leaders who are apart of the Scouting Movement worldwide. This is not totally accurate due to the inability of many countries to complete an accurate census but the World Scout Bureau estimate at approximately 28 Million.
The Girl Guides were formed in 1910 by Baden-Powell's sister, Agnes. 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 organizations but it was decided that single-gender organizations were a better solution. In 1909, BP decided that girls should not be in the same organization as the boys, and the Girl Guides were founded in the UK in 1910.
The name ‘Guide’ was taken from a famous frontier regiment in the British Indian army, ‘the Corps of Guides’ which was noted for its skills in tracking and survival. Even when most Scout organizations became coeducational, Guiding remained separate in most countries to provide a female-centered program. Internationally it is governed by the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.
