Girls in Scouting

In 2007, the Scouting movement celebrated its 100th birthday and we saw significant changes to the approach to our membership.

Originally founded as the "Boy Scouts", in 1967 the name was changed to "Scouts" to reflect the introduction of girls to the older Venture Scout Section. Since that time changes to the co-educational policies within the movement, have seen the introduction of girls into all sections, although of course we continue to work jointly with our sister organisation the Girl Guides.
