Baden Powell specifically wrote his books because he found his new military recruits were clueless about how to function in the outdoors (hence the name "scouts" - it refers to military scouts).
Several scouting movements were actually established in the late 1800's to early 1900's. The unifying themes are that they looked to stimulate an interest and comfort in outdoors activities, promote good moral values, and give children wholesome activities with which to occupy themselves.
Girl Scouts and Girl Guides were founded because girls also wanted to be Scouts. Baden Powell felt that girls should have their own organization, so he chose the name "Girl Guides" and thought that an organization for girls should be run by women so he asked his sister, Agnes Baden-Powell, to help and, in 1910, the Girl Guide movement was formally founded.
Boy Scouts were founded first.
No, the Boy Scouts were founded in 1909. The Girl Scouts were founded three years later in 1912.

Yes a boy could wear a Girl Scout uniform. In fact, in some countries Boy Scouts and Girl Guides/Girl Scouts are members of the same organizations and wear the same uniform. In the USA, a boy wold be able to fit into a Girl Scout uniform. However, he still would not be a member of Girl Scouts of the USA. For ages under 18, only females can be members of GSUSA.
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.
the leaders, same as in girl scouts
