Agnes Baden-Powell was the sister of Robert Baden-Powell, who
founded the Boy Scouts/Scouting Movement in 1907. Lord Baden-Powell
asked his sister, Agnes Baden-Powell to help start a separate
movement for girls and so, in 1910, Agnes and Robert founded Girl
Guides.
Agnes Baden-Powell was President of The Girl Guide Association
until 1917 when she became the Vice-President, a position she held
until her death in 1945.
