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.

In response to the events of 9/11, the Girl Scouts of San Diego created a service programme within the annual Girl Scout cookie sale called Operation Thin Mint, which sends cookies to soldiers serving overseas. Representations of American patriotism and national identity are featured prominently throughout the cookie sale as girls come to embody America’s role in overseas military conflicts, an embodiment of everyday geopolitical processes that frame the US military as protector of American innocence, ideals and values. Scouts come to engage with political and economic systems that position them beyond their communities as they ‘sell the nation’ to consumers as a form of care, blurring the boundaries between the public and private spheres as well as the local and global. Based on an in-depth ethnographic study on the Girl Scout cookie sale, this article will examine the complex gendered relationship between the American military, girls’ bodies and care.
