Robert Baden-Powell started the Scouting Movement (Boy Scouts) in 1908 because of his experiences in the British Army. He felt that boys could benefit from the Scout method, a program of informal education and practical activities such as camping, hiking, sports, backpacking, aquatics, and woodcraft.
Many groups of girls began forming their own troops and one group of girls attended a Boy Scout rally in 1909 calling themselves "Scouts". Robert Baden-Powell felt that girls should have their own organization so he chose the name "Girl Guides" and asked his sister, Agnes Baden-Powell, to help found the Girl Guide organization in 1910. Some organizations have chosen to use "Girl Scouts" instead of "Girl Guides".
The Boy Scouts were started before the Girls Scouts and most of the "lore" such as signs was already well developed even in the first handbooks so it would have to be that the Boy Scout's sign came before the Girl Scout's.

Boy Scouts were founded first.

No, the Boy Scouts were founded in 1909. The Girl Scouts were founded three years later in 1912.
As in Boy Scouts or Girl scouts? Yes but their activities differ from scouts in the US.
The Girl Scouts and Girl Guides share the same motto as the Boy Scouts. This motto from 1907 is 'Be Prepared."
Boy Scouts and Girl Guides/Girl Scouts are run by various non-profit/non-governmental (NGO) organizations, depending on their location.
Yes

The girls are the Girl Scouts.
The feminine of Boy Scout is Girl Scout. It's not rocket science, honey. Just like how the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, a Boy Scout is a boy and a Girl Scout is a girl. Keep it simple, darling.
