Girl Guides archives a treasure trove of members' contributions to war effort - Winnipeg Free Press

TORONTO - Their motto — Be Prepared — and their promise to "help others" may seem like simple tenets, but during the wars of the last century, it appears members of the Girl Guides of Canada took those words to heart and translated them into action.

That's what archivist Catherine Miller-Mort discovered when she started going through publications and other records tracing the history of the organization, which came to Canada in 1910, a year after British general Robert Baden-Powell and his sister Agnes began the movement in England.
