| Page 65 from the above "Girl Guide Album"
I picked up this book from Amazon for £3 plus shipping, it bills itself as a "brief pictorial review of Guiding from 1910-1985 drawn from newspapers, books, song sheets, photographs and a wealth of other material." 1985 was the year I started my guiding career and I was really struck how little change there had been in the first 75 years of Girl Guiding; and just how fast the pace of chance has been in the last 30 years.
Page 65 featured above shows a Girl Guide Officers' Training Camp in 1917 at Windy Sayles, Boxmoor, home of Mrs Agatha Blyth who was the pioneer of Guide Training. When Mrs Blyth resigned in 1918 the school became part of HQ, by then there were other Training Schools in different parts of the country. The start of Training in GG UK?
If you get chance to look through a copy do so as you will be amazed how much you recognise still from today's guiding.
