Robert Baden-Powell started the Scouting Movement (Boy Scouts) in 1907 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".
