BADEN-POWELL GIRL GUIDES.
Miss Ellie Wemyss, founder and hon.
State secretary of the Baden-Powell Girl
Guides, South Australia, had the honor
(a correspondent writes) of being appoin-
ted to the position by the founder of the
world movement, Lieutenant-General Sir
Robert Baden-Powell, during his visit to
Adelaide in 1912. In response to a special
invitation from Sir Robert, Miss Wemyss
waited on him at Government House
with a few friends, and was empowered by
him to found the South Australian move-
ment. Her appointment as hon. State
secretary for South Australia has since
been officially confirmed by Miss Agnes
Baden-Powell, the hon. president of the
world movement. The organisation has
done good work, and hopes to do even
greater. The patrons include his Ex
cellency the Governor (Sir Henry Galway)
and Lady Galway, Lady Bosanquet, the
High Commissioner for the Commonwealth
(Sir George Reid), Admiral Sir George
Patey (commanding the Royal Australian
Navy), and the Director of Education. It
is important for the public to note that the
"Advisory Board" of the "Voluntary Aids"'
have now separated themselves from the
original Baden-Powell organisation, and
only members of the Baden-Powell move-
ment are entitled to wear the uniform
(dark blue dress with pale blue necker-
chief) and trefoil (three leaves) badge
(registered design) or use the name
"guide." All these are registered and
copyright. To quote from "the "Official
Handbook of the Baden-Powell Girl
Guides," by Sir Robert and Miss Agnes
Baden-Powell, "any person wearing Girl
Guides' badges without permission is liable
to be prosecuted according to law, and may
incur a penalty." Another act mentioned
as an ''offence'' is " 'monkey ' patrols wear
ing Girl Guides' uniforms." But it is quite
certain that no South Australian girls
would wish to be known as "monkey''
patrols! Anyone wishing to join the
Baden-Powell Girl Guides' movement may
do so by writing to Miss Ellie Weymss,
hon. secretary Baden-Powell Girl Guides,
4, Stamford-street, Parkside. No entrance
fee or subscription is required, and patrols
manage their own funds.
