Lord Robert Baden-Powell started Girl Guides in 1910 when girls asked to be Boy Scouts. He felt that girls should have their own organization. Brownies were started in 1914. They were first called Rosebuds, but Lord Baden-Powell changed the name to Brownies when the girls told him they did not like the name Rosebuds. Rainbows were introduced in 1987 in the UK.
