- BRIAN SANDERS (B 1937) GIRL GUIDES ASSOCIATION
BRIAN SANDERS (B 1937) GIRL GUIDES ASSOCIATION W/CBrian Sanders (British, B. 1937) "Girl Guides Association" Original Watercolor painting on Paper.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This artwork originally appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the Great Britain Girl Guides stamp issued March 24, 1982. When in 1908 Robert Baden-Powell's tremendously successful book "Scouting for Boys" was published, girls all over the country began to borrow their brothers' copies and to form small groups, calling themselves Girl Scouts. Powell's original intention was that Scouting should be for boys only. But girls, seeing the fun and adventure their brothers were having as Boy Scouts, began asking to join too. Robert Powell soon realized that if girls continued to call themselves Scouts , the boys, for whom the training was originally intended, may lose interest. He also knew that parents at that time would not approve such a tomboyish image for their daughters. He therefore chose for the girls a new name ... Girl Guides. Powell's sister, Agnes Baden-Powell, adapted "Scouting for Boys" as the basis of a parallel program for girls and, in conjunction with her brother, wrote "How Girls Can Help to Build Up the Empire" -- the official handbook for Girl Guides which was published in 1912. Due to popular demand the "Rosebuds," later re-named the Brownies, was added to the girls' movement to serve girls eight to eleven years old. Since their inception, the Girl Guides and Brownies have increased membership dramatically every year, with a combined total today of over 300,000 Guides and Brownies in the United Kingdom alone and millions more throughout the world.
