3rd - 17th A history of Girl Guiding Exhibition
A history of Girl Guiding Exhibition 22 Kingston road, New Malden. Daily until 17th July From 12-9pm. Please call Harry on 020 8949 7871 to arrange your visit.
This is an exhibition, held in a marquee in my garden, all about the history of the Girl Guides, which through models, old uniforms and badges, books illustrates the changes that have happened to the Girl Guides since they started in 1910.
It shows how the movement of Scouts and Guides has progressed and moved with the times. What the young men & ladies did in 1910 is vastly different to todays' young people. In the old days young ladies, were expected to learn to run a home., cook and clean house and bring up the children.
Todays young girls do adventurous things outside of the home, something no Edwardian lady would be allowed to do.
The young people are in a movement and it constantly changes to keep up with the changes in society - far from being "old fashioned".
Activities like Camping, Rock Climbing, Horse Riding, White water Rafting are all in the "Guides" programme as well as many others.
The exhibition shows the great Changes over the years, by Models, Old Uniforms Badge Displays etc.
The Exhibition is on over the whole of the Malden Fortnight and is open to everyone who is interested in Scouting/Guiding, for Parties or Groups please book a time.
So come along and show your children/grandchildren what you did and wore when you were in the Movement - see you there.
