36 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, October 31, 1958 | Guiding Knows |'To Race, Creed ! Guiding has been established in| Canada for many years. In 1909 the first Company was formed in Bt. Catharines, Ontario, by Mrs. A. H. Maleolmson and in 1950 the city of St. Catharines erecied a plague to commemorate this event. ' In 1910 companies were organ- zed in Toronto, Ont., Moose Jaw, | Sask., and Winnipeg, Moan. By | 1912, British Columbia had joined the march with companies in Vancouver and Victoria ' A printed sheet containing the | Guide Promise and Law, was | " mbout the only material available | for usec in those early days. The | popular style of uniform being | middies or sweaters and 'blue | pleated skirts. Dark blue denim | suits were also worn * The history of Guiding in Osh- awa dates back to 1911, the first | company being organized in the | old St. George's Anglican Church, | with Miss D. Bathe (Mrs. George Clark) as. captain. We now have 17 Guide Com- panies, 20 Brownie Packs and a Sea Ranger Crew. These numbers too, will very shortly be increased. Age limit for Brownies | is from 8 - 11, for Guides 1L - 15 | end for Rangers 14 - 21. The city is divided into three districts, North, Central and | South -- each district having its own Commissioner. The rapid growth of Guiding | here is very largely due to the many fine and splendid leaders -- | good leadership being the key to | any success, All leaders and com- | missioners work in a voluntary capacity and they must be in agreement with the aims | No Barriers Or Color are expecied to adhere to its policy and rules. Throughout the years high standaads have beem set and maintained in Guiding while al- ways remembering the words of | Lord Baden Powell, the Founder of Scouting and Guiding, '"When vou think vou have looked wide, then, look wider still". Guiding is democracy in its | broadest sense, and provides no barriers lo race, creed or color. It works in conjunction with home, school and church. Guid- ing is recognized almost world- wide as being of great value in the moulding and building of the character of voung girls, aiding them toward the best possible ef- ficient womanhood and citizen- ship. The spiritual basis on which the movement rests and operates is emphasized by remembering our first duty is 10 God. The practical value is induced in doing a good turn every day. To be trusiworthy, loyal, friend- ly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, and pure in thought, word and deed. The local associations and group commiitees are of great 5 | value as they support both lead- ers and girls: practically and morally v Camping is also a vital and ac- tive part of the Guide program. Here girls learn many new ven- tures amd skilis and they also dis- cover how much they can do for themselves. Our aim is designed to help girls prepare for useful and happy lives. The Guide Law and Promise develop spiritual and lasting and wonderful friendships in this country and in the world. The increase in membership is proof that this game of Guiding meets the needs of girls of all ages. : . The executive commitiee, Osh- awa Division, is: Mrs. R. E.
