Girl Guiding in Australia began as early as 1909 as various groups such as the Tasmanian Girl Peace Scouts and the Australian League of Girl Aids.
In 1926 a council was formed to link the many state associations together as the Girl Guides of Australia.
Girl Scouts first started in Australia in 2009 when Girl Guides Australia rebranded as Girl Guides Australia and introduced the Girl Scout program.
They were actually called Girl Guides first, and established in 1910 in England. Juliette Gordon Low organized the first American Girl Guide troop meeting in the USA on March 12, 1912 in Savannah, Georgia. A year later the name was changed to 'Girl Scouts of the United States' (GSUS). In 1915, the organization was incorporated as 'Girl Scouts, Inc.' under the laws of the District of Columbia. In 1950, 'Girl Scouts of the USA' was re-incorporated under a Congressional Charter.
Girl Scouts today still focus on building leadership skills, outdoor activities, and community service, much like they did in the 1900s. They continue to earn badges, participate in cookie sales, and engage in activities that promote personal growth and empowerment. The core values of the Girl Scouts organization have remained consistent over the years.
Since 1912 in the USA. Girl Guides and Girl Scouts were founded by Lord Robert Baden-Powell and his sister, Agnes Baden-Powell when girls asked to become Boy Scouts. Lord Baden-Powell thought that girls should have their own organization, so, in 1910, Girl Guides were started in the United Kingdom. The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts is celebrating the Centenary of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting in the years 2010 to 2012. Girl Scouts of the USA celebrate 100 years in 2012.
Robert Baden-Powell thought that girls should have their own organizations so he chose the name "Girl Guides" and thought that an organization for girls should be run by women so he asked his elder sister, Agnes, to help and, in 1910, the Girl Guide movement was formally founded. Juliette Gordon Low organized the first American Girl Guide troop meeting in the USA on March 12, 1912 in Savannah, Georgia. A year later, the name was changed to Girl Scouts of the United States (GSUS), and, in 1915, was changed to Girl Scouts, Inc. Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) was chartered by the U.S. Congress on March 16, 1950.
No, Canada does not have Girl Scouts. Instead, they have Girl Guides, which is a similar organization with a focus on helping girls develop leadership skills, self-confidence, and outdoor abilities.

Australia has neither Girl Scouts nor cookies: therefore it does not have Girl Scout cookies. Australia has Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, and biscuits, not cookies (although the American influence means the word cookie is, unfortunately, being used more often.
Boy Scouts were founded first.
girl scouts started in 1912
When first starting Girl Guides/Girl Scouts in America in 1912, Juliette Gordon Low called the first troops American Girl Guides. A year later, the name was changed to Girl Scouts and, in 1915, the organization was incorporated as Girl Scouts, Inc.
Girl Scouts back in the early 1920's.
It is unlikely that members of the Figi Girl Guides sell cookie products. Not all World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) member organizations sell cookies as a national organization. Some national organizations, such as Girl Guides of Canada, Girl Scouts of the USA, and Girl Guides Australia Inc., do sell cookie (biscuits in Australia) products. Members of Girl Scouts Overseas sell cookies as members of the Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) in other countries.
Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting was introduced in France in 1921.
Each World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) member country/organization sets their own guidelines for money earning projects for their members, so members of Organisation Nationale des Guides et des Eclaireuses du Liban [National Organization of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts of Lebanon] probably do not sell cookies. Some national organizations, such as Girl Guides of Canada, Girl Scouts of the USA, and Girl Guides Australia Inc., do sell cookie (biscuits in Australia) products. Members of Girl Scouts Overseas sell cookies as members of the Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA).
Girl Guides Australia sell Girl Guide Biscuits (cookies). Girl Scouts Overseas from the US may also be selling GSUSA cookies.
According to the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) web site, Girl Guiding was introduced in France in 1921.
Girl Guides and Girl Scouts began in several countries at about the same time that Boy Scouts were getting started. Girls wanted to be Scouts, too. Eventually, Lord Baden-Powell decided that girls should have their own organization, so he asked his sister, Agnes Baden-Powell to help start Girl Guides. They officially founded the Girl Guide movement in the United Kingdom in 1910.
