ABSTRACTIn 1907, the Scout Movement was founded in England by Sir Robert Baden Powell. Since 1909, he has collaborated with her sister Agnes and then with his wife Olave to develop also the Girls Scouting. This youth movement developed rapidly, becoming the most widespread worldwide educational organization for young people. In the international scenario, the World Organization of the Scout Movement and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts are committed to ensuring that national member associations around the world develop an education for girls and boys based on Scout values. WAGGGS is the official umbrella organization for all national Girl Guide and Girl Scout organizations in the world. Using tools of the Scout Method, Female Scouting works towards empowerment and emancipation of young women, helping to develop in girls and young women the ability to become aware of themselves as women with their own possibilities and personal potential and be active citizens in the SocietyRESUMENEn el 1907 fue fundado en Inglaterra el Movimiento Scout por Sir Robert Baden Powell, con la colaboración ya desde 1909, con respecto a la rama femenina, de su hermana Agnes y después de su mujer Olave.

AbstractWhen relationships within a community organisation are productive, staff are more likely to be happy, to understand and to be effective in their role. In youth-focused organisations delivering volunteer-led youth programs, a productive organisational relationship is essential to ensure effective recruitment, development and retention of staff, and the delivery of quality programs. This article provides a unique examination of the organisational relationships within Girl Guides Australia, between the volunteers who govern the organisation and those who deliver the youth program. The results of an extensive Australia-wide review of the adult volunteer training program are discussed, and changes to the ways in which relationships are fostered and understood in the organisation are outlined. The review has led to new understandings that modern volunteering requires changes to the ways in which organisational relationships are managed and supported, with a move away from compulsory ongoing training to a focus on volunteers as lifelong learners. Above all, this article shows how productive organisational relationships are when underpinned by founding relationships on openness and honesty, supporting relationships using learning and development, and building relationships using a quality people-management framework.
