Queensland's First "Guides"

The first known group of “Guides” that was formed in Queensland was in the suburb of Rosalie in Brisbane in 1910.  They were called the League of Girl Aids.

They wore a navy skirt teamed with a Scout shirt, hat and scarf. This made them unpopular with the Scouts, but being determined, they ignored all requests to change. They followed Scouting for Boys to build their program. As a special project they raised money to help the local fire brigade buy their first vehicle. This group operated for about a year, but was never officially registered.
 

Tarragindi Guides

In 1915 there was one company of Girl Scouts in Queensland at Tarragindi, South Brisbane. Miss Marjorie Grimes was their Captain. These girls became Tarragindi Girl Guides and continued with Miss Grimes as their Captain for many years.
