=== Girl Guides === [[File:Olave Baden-Powell.jpg|thumb|upright=0.50|Olave Baden-Powell, [[Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting|Girl Guide]]'s second head]] Many girls took up being Girl Scouts and were part of the Scout Movement as soon as it began. Common Edwardian values of the time would not accept young boys and girls to "rough and tumble" together. Baden-Powell with the help of his sister, [[Agnes Baden-Powell]], formed a separate organization for girls in 1910, the [[Girlguiding|Girl Guides Association]], which was followed in other countries forming the [[Girl Guide and Girl Scout|Girl Guides]].<ref name="pinetreeweb">{{cite book|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070418002246/http://www.pinetreeweb.com/bp-olave-11.htm|first=Olave |last=Baden-Powell |editor=Mary Drewery |author-link=Olave Baden-Powell |series=Window on My Heart|title = Chapter Eleven {{!}} The Girl Guides Years: 1916β1918 |date=1973 |url=http://pinetreeweb.com/bp-olave-10.htm |archive-date=2007-04-18 |access-date=21 June 2018}}</ref> However, by the 1990s, two-thirds of the Scout organizations belonging to WOSM had become co-educational.<ref name="SRTW1990">{{cite book |year=1990 |title=Scouting 'round the World.
